A few miles from the Kansas border, a handful of Chilocco Indian Agricultural School alumni drove down a long dirt road on a warm July morning to tend to parts of the sprawling but now-crumbling campus. While much of the grounds are overgrown with weeds, the schoolâs graveyard, near Newkirk, receives precise manicuring.
Oklahoman TULSA — Gov. Kevin Stitt told a contentious crowd gathered at a Tuesday night forum that Oklahomans need to know about the impacts of the Supreme Court ruling that changed how some crimes are prosecuted in eastern Oklahoma. Stitt said he and other state leaders had organized the event to inform crime victims about their rights in light of the year-old McGirt v. Oklahoma decision. The forum organized by Stitt and prosecutors had drawn criticism days before it began. Leaders of the tribes whose reservations were affirmed by the Supreme Court ruling have said they weren’t invited to speak. The Chickasaw Nation said Tuesday that it received an email about the event. Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin had described the event as “an anti-McGirt rally for political reasons.”

The Kaw people used the 10-foot tall red rock with religious ceremonies. In 1929, the rock was moved to Robinson Park near Lawrence's City Hall to honor the town's founders. As the City of Lawrence begins work to return a sacred prayer rock stolen from the Kaw Nation’s homelands nearly a century ago, it is asking the community for any historical documents to help understand how the boulder was brought to Lawrence and installed in its current location.
On the Santa Fe Trail: 1821-2021 The bicentennial of the National Historic Trail is a great reason to hit the road and rediscover why it is the West’s original “Mother Road.” When you get right down to it, almost every trail ever blazed was for profit. Despite all the glory associated with them, the lure of money was behind the Chisholm Trail (first for trade goods, then for selling longhorns in Kansas)and the California and Klondike trails (to find goldfields) and the like. The Santa Fe Trail, on the other hand, never even thought about fame—it was all about money.

In 1929, a group of Lawrence officials arranged to take the boulder from the Shunganunga Creek near Tecumseh, where the creek joins with the Kansas River â a site that was sacred to the Kanza tribe. In an effort to right one of the wrongs of Lawrence’s past, city leaders have officially committed to returning a sacred prayer rock to the Kaw Nation and to issue a formal apology for its removal from the tribe’s homeland decades ago.

City leaders will soon consider making an official commitment to return a sacred prayer rock to the Kaw Nation and to issue a formal apology for its removal from the tribe’s homeland decades ago. As part of its meeting Tuesday, the Lawrence City Commission will consider adopting a joint resolution with Douglas County to offer a formal apology to the people of the Kaw Nation for the appropriation of the sacred rock, In ÌzhuÌje ÌwaxoÌbe, and agreeing to its unconditional return to the Kaw Nation.
