Santa Fe Trail: Highway Of Commerce, Road To Empire

Intersection Of The Kaw (Kansa) Indians And White Settlers

Broaden your understanding of the distinct cultures that occupied the Flint Hills over time - from the Kaw nation to the traders and pioneers headed west and those who chose to settle on the plains. Learn about the relocation of the Kaw to Oklahoma.
