6/4/2025 | Missouri State Museum | Jefferson City, MO
Missouri, like most states in the center of the U.S., has no extant tribes or tribal lands. Therefore, the knowledge of both the history of the Indigenous people and the experience of contemporary Native Americans is one step further removed from people's consciousness. Using startling facts as stepping stones to fascinating and forgotten stories, presenter Galen Gritts will start to remedy this phenomenon. A registered member of the Cherokee Nation, Mr. Gritts was born and reared in Missouri and has a degree in history from the University of Missouri in St. Louis.
The Missouri State Museum's Landing After Hours program is held the first Wednesday of each month at Jefferson Landing State Historic Site, located at 100 Jefferson St. Doors to the site’s Lohman Building open at 6:30 p.m., and the program begins at 7 p.m. Convenient parking is available in the lot next to the Lohman Building.
In addition to being held in person, the program will also be livestreamed on the Missouri State Museum’s Facebook page. Did you know that you don't have to have a Facebook account to view Facebook videos or live programs? Simply follow the link and enjoy: facebook.com/MissouriStateMuseum.
