Both the Kaw (Kanza) language and scientific studies carry generations of knowledge of the tallgrass prairie. Our goal is to gather this information, discuss its meaning, and form a shared forward-thinking perspective on the relationship between people and prairie. We will listen together to what the prairie has taught us.

Discussion Series: Fridays at 1:30 pm Central Time
on Zoom (register here) and on KSU campus (Ackert Hall 324B)
