Join us as we Rededicate the portions of the cemetery where our Native American brothers and sisters are buried. As part of this presentation, the Resolution of Apology to Native Peoples, recently passed by the US Congress, will be read and acknowledged.

Following that, we will offer a time of Story-Telling with guided tours through the cemetery where participants will hear experience living history with character portrayals of a number of the persons buried there. Members of the Cherokee, Pawnee, Choctaw, and Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate tribes will be offering these presentations in their Native dress. For more information/registration, please click here.

Honorary Co-Hosts are Sen. Sam Brownback (R - KS) and Rep. Jim McDermott (D-WA).
