TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Kansas Children’s Discovery Center celebrated Indigenous People’s Day with local kids and families.
Guests at the center listened to a Native American book about the culture’s connection to water. They also watched a Native American sand painting demonstration and flute performance from an indigenous guest.
“To celebrate the resiliency of indigenous peoples but also for the community to take a moment to educate, learn and to learn more about the indigenous peoples,” said Christina Haswood, representative for District 10 in the Kansas House.

Kansas originally got its name from the Kanza Native American tribe.
