Greetings to all.  This series comes from a wall in Overland Park Kansas
located in the old main street.  The greater Kansas City area was home to
the Pawnee and Shawnee tribe predominantly and on the Kansas side was home
the the Shawnee Mission school whose aim was somewhat the same as the
Canadian schools but possibly less coercive.  In any case we start with a
stylized image:

Kansas City sits on the edge of the Eastern Forest and the plains that
extend just to the west.  The native housing resembled the eastern rather
than the western:

I am not sure about the context of this image but it is part of the panel:

While a poor position this does provide a bit more context to the series:

All the best.
