November 4, 1846 Sugar Creek
Today some Myaamiaki completed the 50-mile journey from the Town of Kansas to the Miami Reservation on Sugar Creek in the Osage River Sub-Agency, one mile west of the military road they had traveled.

In the next installment, to be posted on November 5, we will see what these Myaamiaki and those who arrived the next day experienced when they arrived at the Miami Reservation.

Diane, this series of posts is very powerful, helping us get a better sense of what the removal may have been like. Thank you.
