Kaw Nation Sacred Red Rock

After Mother Posey’ preached this sermon, many people asked for more information about the Sacred Red Rock of the Kaw Nation. Here is a link the to the Red Rock Project, full of history, resources, and photographs: sacredredrock.com.

Charlee Huffman, one of the authors of this webpage, will be our forum guest (via Zoom) on Sunday October 8th, the weekend leading up to Indigenous People’s Day. At the forum, she will speak to us about returning home and also be able to answer questions about the Kaw Nation, and other projects.

Additionally, here is the link to a recording (voice only) on the website, at the bottom of the curriculum section page, of Curtis Kekahbah, a tribal elder who died in 2021, talking with a group of kids about the Sacred Red Rock: sacredredrock.com/curriculum.
