Five Native Leaders Honored in Hall of Honor | Wichita News
Description
Five trailblazing Native American leaders from Kansas and Oklahoma just got their moment in the spotlight—inducted into the Mid-America All-Indian Museum’s first-ever Hall of Honor. From Paralympic champion Cheri Madsen coaching the next generation, to artist Francis Blackbear Bosin who sculpted Wichita’s iconic Keeper of the Plains, to astronaut John Herrington inspiring STEM dreams—these changemakers are honored for their art, advocacy, and cultural preservation. Plus, two community-voted heroes: Louie Stumblingbear, who escorted the Olympic torch, and Lakota elder Mark Brown, a spiritual mentor behind Wichita’s Sobriety Powwow. This is more than recognition—it’s a celebration of Native leadership lighting up communities across generations.
