Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation
There are various indigenous nations peppered about the state of Kansas on reservations, still waiting on promises to be honored by the Federal Government. These serve as a reminder of the injustices we humans are capable of, and that we have yet to fully learn the importance of neither honoring commitments nor the importance of making appropriate amends... that there is still so much to be done. The sisters acknowledge our seriously troubled past and vow to do what they can to improve and protect liberty for all as we move forward.
It cannot escape notice that Topeka has also been called the “epicenter of hate.” Though the infamous neighbor’s SPLC dubbed hate group is not the home’s attraction (possibly to their dismay), the real jewels of the block are the Equality and Trans Houses. The flow of visitors from all over the world going out of their way to visit this special little corner, serve as a reminder that love and dedication are needed to trump hate, and those exist who are willing to go the extra mile.

One of the sisters began referring lovingly to the area as “Little Castro”. Knowing visitor donations provide relief efforts through Planting Peace to children in need across the world is the icing on the cake. The sisters were pleased to discover the youth of Topeka have a sense of pride in their rainbow-colored landmark, and what it has meant to them is profound in ways we’ve yet begun to measure. There is an amazing story unfolding here, in this Capitol city on the prairie.
