The Missouri River: History, Culture, and Your Personal Connection

Dive deep into the Missouri River's past, present, and your own personal connection to it. We will use the Missouri as a springboard for lively discussions. What comes to mind when you think of the Missouri River? What personal stories and images surface when you think of this mighty waterway? We will delve into these personal connections alongside the river's rich history. We will explore the river's role in transportation, delve into the rich cultures of indigenous tribes who thrived along its banks, and view the history and sense of place from the perspective of the water. This session's discussion will provide the foundation for the August 14 - OLLI on the Water: Exploring the Missouri - adventure.
