Most people associate the “trail of tears” with the removal of Southeastern tribal nations to Indian Territory in the 1830s. In truth, however, most tribal nations experienced upheaval and displacement across the continent. This presentation will consider the 19th century forced removal of tribal nations to and from the land now known as Kansas.
The annual Kansas Day Presentation is hosted and funded by the Center for Kansas Studies and is co-sponsored by the Washburn University School of Law, the Washburn University College of Arts and Sciences and The Washburn University Office of Diversity and Inclusion. This is also a WUmester event. WUmester is an annual event intended to foster a university-wide conversation on a diversity-related topic that will change each spring semester. The topic for WUmester 2022 is truth.
