More than 100 Indian professors, researchers and graduate students are expected to attend a conference co-sponsored by Kansas University's Center for Indigenous Nations Studies and Haskell Indian Nations University.

The conference, "Decolonization Redux: First Nations Communities and Indigenous Professors," starts today and runs through Saturday. Participants will discuss indigenous issues as they affect the education system.

Steve Cadue, chairman of the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas, and Zack Pahmahmie, chairman of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, are also on the agenda.
