Cardinal Housing Network, located in Douglas County, KS, stands on land that at various times was home to the Kaw/Kansa, Wazhazhe (original tribal name, Ni-U-Ko’n-Ska)/Osage, and Shawano/Shawnee peoples. Lawrence and Douglas County have hosted other Native American nations as well, including the Lenape/Delaware, Wandat/Wyandot, and Kiwigapawa/Kickapoo. We support the efforts of Haskell Indian Nations University, Native American tribes and nations, and other institutions to protect Native Americans, their cultures, and rights.
