Join us on Friday, April 10, from 3-4 pm for a book presentation and discussion, This Is the Route of My Forefathers: The 1837 Ioway Map, with author William Green in conversation with Rob Bozell (retired Nebraska State Archeologist) and Allan Kelley (retired THPO, Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska) at the Nebraska History Museum. Admission to the event is free.
Bill, Rob, and Allan will discuss how Indigenous cartography, along with archeology, written records, and oral traditions, tell the story of the Ioway people over hundreds of years from the Great Lakes to the Great Plains.
Then view the panel about the 1837 Ioway map in the Nebraska Archeology exhibit, Piecing Together the Past, on the first floor of the museum before the event on Friday (will require museum admission) or on Saturday, April 11 (free for conference attendees).
This event is brought to you during the 47th Annual Flint Hills Archaeological Conference, April 10-11, 2026. Everyone is welcome to attend the discussions on Friday and Saturday. Admission is free only for conference attendees, graciously funded by the Nebraska Association of Professional Archaeologists (NAPA).
