A sacred boulder stolen to honor Kansas settlers was finally returned to the Kaw Tribe

The Kaw "rematriated" a part of its Kansas heritage over the weekend, a sacred rock they call "grandfather" that they had to leave behind when the tribe was forcibly relocated to Oklahoma.
On Saturday, about 300 people crowded under and around a big white canopy in the Flint Hills outside Council Grove, Kansas as the sun blazed down. They gathered from around the country to celebrate a pair of journeys that brought a huge rock and a proud tribe together to Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park.
