Western Academy Speaker Series: Kansas 1776, a dynamic landscape

Presentation by Dr. Adam Hodge, Head of Reference at the Kansas Historical Society on, Kansas 1776: A Dynamic Landscape.
Although the land we call Kansas has changed greatly since 1776, it was already a dynamic cultural and environmental landscape before the “founding fathers” forged a new nation. Human activities and natural processes alike had transformed Kansas over the course of millennia as a changing climate, Indigenous burning practices, dynamic waterways, and other developments shaped and reshaped what became the Sunflower State.
