Land acknowledgments are vital to honoring our rich Native American Heritage in Missouri. For the Missouri Bicentennial, Missouri Humanities is working to highlight the vital role land acknowledgments can bring to the people, places, and ideas that shape and impact our society.
With the American Wild Ensemble and partners, we facilitate simple approaches on how organizations can work to weave meaningful land acknowledgments into their structure. Join us virtually for a free interactive educational presentation followed by a Q&A panel discussion on Zoom or Facebook Live!

Join us on April 29th at 7:00 PM for the virtual premiere of Show Me Statesmanship, a film featuring former Missouri elected officials and political experts discussing how polarization and partisanship impact state government. Featured guests include Bob Priddy and Senators Charlie Shields, Rita Heard Days, Scott Rupp, Jolie Justus, and Jeff Smith.
Be inspired by Missouri Senators' stories who bucked the negative trends and cooperated in a bipartisan fashion; treated their political foes with civility and respect; and made and kept friends across the partisan divide in the General Assembly.

We are excited to partner with St. Louis-Stuttgart Sister Cities and the City of Stuttgart, Germany on an upcoming oral history project.
The goal of the project is to collect oral histories from Germans and Missourians alike who have a connection to St. Louis’s German sister city, Stuttgart, including (but not limited to) people who have immigrated from Stuttgart, St. Louisans/Missourians who have visited Stuttgart, and members of the military who perhaps were stationed there.
If you have a connection to Stuttgart and wish to tell your story,
we’d love to hear from you!
