The Darkest Period: the Kanza Indians and their last homeland, 1846-1873

by Ronald Parks

Before their relocation to the Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma, the Kanza Indians spent twenty-seven years on a reservation near Council Grove, Kansas, on the Santa Fe Trail.    The Darkest Period  tells the story of those years of decline in Kanza history following the loss of the tribe’s original homeland in northeastern and central Kansas.

Author, Ron Parks, will join us for this session. 

This discussion is part of the Salina Reads series.

 

Join us in the Campbell Room to discuss this month's title.  Attendance is free and registration is required.
