Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:

Starting Tuesday, a group of Kansas Citians will make a multi-day pilgrimage through the metro to celebrate and reckon with different cultures’ histories in the area — including paying homage to the tens of thousands of Native Americans who were forcibly displaced from the region following the Indian Removal Act in 1830.

Local wellness nonprofit Clement Waters will host the “moving ceremony” event, called the Trail of Mending, from May 23 to 26.

According to its lead organizer Joy Ellsworth, the event draws largely from the traditions of the Lakota and Dakota people but invites people from all backgrounds to share their own traditions and stories along the way.
