The program will be held in the Council Grove Methodist Fellowship Hall, located at 21 North Mission Street, Council Grove, Kansas at 2 pm.Although the land we call Kansas has changed greatly since 1776, it was already a dynamic cultural and environmental landscape before the “Founding Fathers” forged a new nation. Human activities and natural process alike had transformed Kansas over the course of millennia as a changing climate, Indigenous burning practices, dynamic waterways, and other developments shaped and reshaped what became the Sunflower State. Presented by Adam Hodge.
Adam is the head of reference at the Kansas State Historical Society in Topeka. He has a Ph.D in history with specialization in environmental and Indigenous history of the North American West.
The friends of Kaw Heritage will provide refreshments after the program.
