Backyard Bash: Understories
Weaving together songs and stories before an immersive painted backdrop, Tweesna Rose Mills transmits the history of her ancestors and connections to the Lands and Waters, including the area now known as Lawrence, Kansas. “The songs and stories I plan to share were meant to live on and to be experienced. They integrate different Indigenous peoples histories, and walks of life, and how we are all connected.” This is a live performance. Check the Museum’s website for dates and times.
