ABOUT
Talking in the Footsteps of Our Ancestors will share the journey of reconnecting the Otoe-Missouria people to their ancestral homelands in southeast Nebraska through the Walking in the Footsteps of Our Ancestors project. Through stories, history, and culture, we’ll focus on healing, reconciliation, and bridging understanding between Native and non-Native communities.
