The Lost Years: Miami Indians In Kansas
Past academic history, part National Treasure mystery, reading “The Lost Years: Miami Indians in Kansas” feels like uncovering a lost journal, gone missing for generations. While not a genealogical record, it reflects a personal mission for the author, whose family heritage can be traced through his grandfather to his Indian lineage. “The Lost Years” is the story of myaamiaki (Miami People)-their forced migration from Ohio to Indiana and Kansas in the 1850s, and their subsequent removal to Indian Territory of Oklahoma. – Julie Olds, Cultural Resources Officer, Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.
