Buffalo Commons Bus Tour. Embark on a journey through history. Listen as experts chronicle the setting and events leading up to the last U. S. battle between the Sioux and the Pawnee. Matt Reed, Pawnee Tribal Historic Preservation Officer from Pawnee, OK, will provide information on the Pawnee Nation and guide us through the story of this historical day.
Upon boarding the bus, participants will travel to Massacre Canyon at Trenton for a first-hand look at the actual site and the monument commemorating the last Indian battle on the Plains. Matt Reed, along with Tom Baker, farmer, educator, historian, and former Nebraska legislator and Cathy Upton, educator and passionate Hitchcock County historian, will share the stories and artifacts of this epic event. The tour will continue to the ArtBank McCook to experience John Thein's Wounded Knee collection. Participants will engage with the exhibit which focuses on the Wounded Knee massacre and the events that surrounded it. The collection is a result of the Thein's hope for reflection and learning from circumstances of the horrific day.
