Anadarko Indians Dedicate Memorial Lodge at Wichita Site
Anadarko Oklahoma Indians return from a Wichita pilgrimage to dedicate an Indian memorial on the confluence of the Big and Little Arkansas rivers. The cedar lodge stands 76 feet tall and houses eight people, built with reservation materials to honor ancestral homelands and tribal memory. Led by Such Ah, the aged dancer and longtime lodge decorator, the ceremony revived memories of the tribe’s displacement and enduring connection to their former home.
