{"product_id":"shokhi","title":"Shokhí: A Kanza Relative, a Monument, and Rematriation","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn enduring story of how Kanza people (Kaw Nation citizens) and other collaborators worked together to bring a grandfather rock home, told through essay, poetry, oral history, and art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor almost a century, the city of Lawrence, Kansas displayed a 28-ton red quartzite boulder as a memorial to the town's founders. However, this boulder, In'zhúje'waxóbe (EE(n)) ZHOO-jay wah-HO-bay), had a centuries-long relationship with Kanza people (Kaw Nation citizens). In this powerful collection of imagery, analysis, and reflection, Land is telling the story and the contributors explore narratives of place, how a grandfather rock became a monument, and how Kaw Nation citizens reunited with their relative, facilitating In'zhúje'waxóbe shokhíbe (return of he\/she\/it home, to Kanza people\/Land).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Shokhí, scholars, poets, activists, and artists explore the organizing and collaboration that brought In'zhúje'waxóbe home to Kaw Nation-owned Allegawaho Memorial Heritage Park in 2024. Indigenous and non-Indigenous contributors chronicle the winding path a group of people took to dismantle a monument, understand intersecting forgotten histories, rematriate a grandfather rock, and confront our ongoing colonial history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"C.
