Fairway - "Kansas 1776: A Dynamic Landscape"- Shawneee Indian Mission State Historic Site

Although the land we call Kansas has changed greatly since 1776, it was already a dynamic cultural and environmental landscape before the "Founding Fathers" forged a new nation. Human activities and natural process alike had transformed Kansas over the course of millennia as a changing climate, Indigenous burning practices, dynamic waterways and other developments shaped and reshaped what became the Sunflower State. This program is presented by Adam Hodge, head of reference at the Kansas Historical Society.
