В музее Смоки-Хилл обсудят историю сотрудничества потаватоми и сестер-капулинок в Канзасе

Smoky Hill Museum In the late 1830s, the United States forcibly removed the Wabash, St. Joseph and Menominee Potawatomi from the Great Lakes to Kansas. After arriving and settling in Sugar Creek, the Potawatomi were soon joined by a group of French Catholic nuns belonging to the Society of the Sacred Heart. The two groups negotiated their positions, culture and religion to survive in Kansas. Join Abigail Scott, Ph.D candidate at the University of Kansas, as she examines how St. Mary’s and the Sugar Creek settlement persisted because of their collaborations and adaptations of Catholic practices.
