KITESKansas Interpretive Traveling Exhibit ServiceNative American Folk Arts: Living TraditionsThe history of Native Americans in Kansas is, in part, the story of how cultural traditions continue to unfold through time while maintaining ties to the past. Historically, Indian nations traded with other Indian nations, and their artists also came in contact with Europeans, new technologies, and changes in the environment. Although Native American cultures were challenged by outside forces for many years, the traditional elements remain strong in folk arts practiced today.
