Program Description

Event Details

Join us for an unforgettable educational presentation by renowned Native American speaker Galen Gritts, as he unwinds the past to discover the history and stories of Native Americans.

Missouri, like most states in the center of the U.S., has no extant tribes like some other states have. Therefore, the knowledge of either the history of Natives or the experience of contemporary Native Americans is one step further removed from people’s consciousness. Using startling facts as stepping stones to fascinating and forgotten stories, this presentation starts to remedy this phenomenon.

Galen is an established Missouri Humanities Council speaker, a registered member of the Cherokee Nation, and is a founding member of the Alliance for Native Programming & Initiatives.

Registration is required for this event.
