What does Indian Territory have to do with Kansas? Well, actually a lot. Join Jancita Warrington, Tribal historian, as she explains how Kansas was part of the original Indian Territory and the tribes that were affected. Warrington was born and raised on the Menominee Reservation in northern Wisconsin. She descends from the Menominee, Potawatomi and Ho-Chunk Nations. She holds an undergraduate degree in American Indian Studies and degrees in Tribal Law & Policy and Cultural Preservation-Museum Management from the University of Kansas.

Our Impact This Year

  • Allison K.

    A great museum for the whole family! We were traveling from the kc area to Colorado and had to stop due to the interstate being closed. We saw the museum was open and were able to spend about 3 hours there walking around the museum. We have three kids, ages 2, 5, 7 who asked if we could go to it again on the way home. Thanks for allowing us to spend a good chunk of our day there! We will be back!
