“Rane” Drops keep falling on my head
As their time in Kansas came to a close , BZ and her hive began cataloging, recording, and writing about everything they had learned and experienced during their time in their ancestral homeland.

During their time, they hung out in Oklahoma long enough to be able to interview 7 tribal members (including 5 Elders). Also at this point, Rane and Justine recorded the Wyandotte Cultural Center’s Men’s Singing and Drumming Group for over 2 hours.
“In April 2024, my niece Justine called me, filled with excitement. She’d found a grant proposal to tell the story of three Kansas Wyandot sisters. As she described the project, I knew I had to say, ‘Yes.” So here we are, diving deeply into our culture’s roots, its triumphs, and its tragedies. It’s a lot of work, but it’s an honor to work with Justine and Rane.”
