Kaw Nation

The Kaw Nation will engage in a variety of activities to increase community learning and enhance the preservation of its records and archives. The tribe will create a genealogy lab in its Kanza Museum, enabling tribal members to trace tribal historical roots and ancestry. The project will also include the creation of life-sized window screen cover panels at the South entrance of the museum depicting the everyday life of the Kanza on the Plains of the Flint Hills. The panel screens covering the windows will help protect the collections from lighting and humidity within the museum while also creating visuals of Native life that tell the Kanza Story. The final facets of this project include updating the entryway of the Kanza Museum and the refreshing museum brochures and literature.
