Do Pi Ka: A Land Acknowledgement
Sept 8 – Nov 26, 2023
This exhibit acknowledges and honors the original inhabitants of Shawnee County. Many tribes have cultivated the land, built homes, named the flora and fauna, and were forcibly moved to, and away from, what we now call home. Often the history of Topeka and Shawnee County leaves out the many Nations that have called this land home.
Do Pi Ka: A Land Acknowledgement will explore art and culture of the Indigenous people and artists who made, and continue to make, Topeka and Shawnee County their home today.
