| In the 19th century, Americans wanted more land and
settlement moved west. For countless Indians, the
American thrust for land meant the end of their traditional
way of life. The Shawnee Mission was one of many
missions established as a manual training school attended
by boys and girls from Shawnee, Delaware, and other Indian nations from
1839 to 1862. Visit this 12-acre National Historic Landmark
and learn the stories of those who lived there. |
