The grasslands on which the Konza Prairie Biological Station is located have been home to people for many thousands of years, including named and unamed Indigenous peoples who lived and hunted here prior to European colonization. The Konza Prairie Biological Station was named after theKaw, or Kanza ("Kaaze")people, who inhabited and stewarded this area until their forced removal between 1846 and 1872. We acknowledge the connection of the Kaw Nation and other Indigenous peoples to these lands, and we strive to respect and honor their legacies, knowledge, and past and current cultures.
