Dust and Destiny on the Great Plains

Wednesday, October 2nd through Saturday, October 26th, 2024

For a thousand years the Plains Indians, the American buffalo, and the native prairie grasses co-existed. Then came the Homestead Act of 1862, thousands of pioneer families, and the plow. The Dust Bowl and the Great Depression did great harm in the 1930s, and then big agriculture and big technology killed the small farm and the small town. Now, heat and drought again threaten the region. The Great Plains today is a place of vast beauty and deep sadness, and it warns us about its future.
