Tower Grove Park’s East Stream (Nee Kee Nee, or “Revived Waters” in the Osage language) not only serves as a large-scale storm-water management project that slows and filters rainwater, but also honors the ancestral Osage people who inhabited the land prior to European settlement. Nee Kee Nee spans three acres of the park, features potable headwaters and natural playscape, hosts hundreds of native plants and pollinating animals, and pays homage to their Osage collaborators throughout the project. On November 10 at 9:45 a.m., the CAN! Forum will dive into the natural and cultural history of Tower Grove Park, the events surrounding the project’s inception and creation, and its impacts and implications on the park, the surrounding community, and the culture which it seeks to represent.Presenter Luke Scott is a natural and cultural resource educator and Certified Interpretive Guide, currently serving as the Education Program Coordinator at Tower Grove Park, a 289-acre urban park, arboretum, and National Historic Landmark located in the city of St. Louis.
