Native American Heritage Month is KC's heritage. Here are 5 ways to learn more

The Kansas City area was once home to multiple tribes of American Indians, and Native American Heritage Month (Nov. 1-30) will offer ample opportunities to honor that history. The Shawnee Indian Mission State Historic Site on the grounds of a 19th-century manual training school for Native American children is the area’s go-to venue for year-round programs and exhibitions. It also is the temporary site for the traveling exhibition “Trespassers Beware!: Fort Conley and Wyandot Women Warriors.” It’s important to note that for several years the Shawnee Indian Mission site has been in the news: first with allegations that Indigenous children who attended the school may have been buried on the grounds, and later, the ownership of the site has been disputed among Native American tribes, including the Shawnee and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. The site and its ownership have been at the center of Kansas Legislation . Also during Native American Heritage Month is a book talk at the Kansas City Public Library-Plaza Branch, and the Indigenous Art Market in Shawnee. If you’re up for a day trip, Missouri's American Indian Cultural Center near Miami might be worth the 90-mile drive. It will be open only on weekends Nov.

The inaugural season of Riverside’s new concert venue just wrapped up and in the eyes of Live Nation, it was a huge success. Andrew Newport, regional vice president of Venue Operations at Live Nation, and Dave Gerardi, market president of Missouri at Live Nation, met with The Star to discuss the first year of Morton Amphitheater , the 16,000-capacity concert venue that opened in June.

Many of these shows sold out according to their data, and it’s helping shape what concertgoers can expect in 2027. Gerardi said that Kansas City has historically been a great market for country music, with Stapleton and Brooks & Dunn selling out and high attendance for Tyler Childers, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett and Luke Bryan. He was surprised at the crowd numbers for electronic artists like Rüfüs Du Sol, Empire of the Sun and Tape B & Levity. Tiller, the trap-infused R&B star selling out the venue also came as a surprise.

Beloved mural on Southwest Boulevard honoring KC Mexican community gets new look

In 1991, a handful of young Kansas City artists painted a mural on the long, brick wall of a self-storage company on busy Southwest Boulevard. Their artwork paid homage to the history, culture and pride of the Mexican-American community of Kansas City’s Westside. The public art project made news. It was led by a 23-year-old Kansas City Art Institute student who grew up in the neighborhood, the same woman who now, 35 years later, is spearheading the transformation of the wall — all 683 feet of it. For Jenny Mendez and a new group of artists, the Celebration of Youth Mural Project is about more than just putting paint on a wall. “I just hope that families and the community see it as something positive and see it as something that, even though they might have been attached to what was there before, ... as in everything it’s OK if it’s reborn, we redo it, we replenish it to make sure we tell a new story,” said Mendez. “I think as artists that’s probably the biggest part of it.
