Get to know Indigenous peoples' local histories and celebrate their contributions to society. We'll learn about Haskell Indian Nations University's history, as well as the story of the Pawnee peoples in Northeast Kansas prior to white settlement. Jason Champagne, a.k.a. Native Chef, will cater lunch and discuss the traditional Indigenous ingredients used. Through the afternoon we'll discover contemporary Native artists, how today's #LandBack movement returns traditional lands to tribes and efforts to restore the Haskell Wetlands. 

The event includes six presentations and a catered lunch.
