3 Kansas State Capitol Guide for Young People Curriculum Packet Symbolism of the Kansas Capitol Dome Statue

Main Idea: A symbol is something that represents ideas and beliefs of a group of people. The statue placed atop the Kansas Capitol Dome, Ad Astra, is a multicultural symbol. It represents beliefs and ideas of diverse contemporary Kansans.

Background: Construction on the Kansas Capitol began in 1866 and the building was finished in 1903. Designs for the Capitol called for a statue to be placed on the top of the dome. However, controversy over the statue continued for more than a century. The selected statue represents a multicultural symbol with elements from at least three cultural perspectives: 1. The form of the statue is that of a Kansa warrior. The Kansa are the people from whom the state takes its name. Selection of a Kansa warrior represents a Native American perspective and highlights the contributions of native peoples to the history of Kansas. 2. Focus of the statue faces toward the North Star. This represents the symbol of finding one's way. The North Star, while important to Native Americans, is not symbolic of Native American life. Instead, it represents a navigational tool used by pioneers and travelers.It would be quite out of character for a Native American warrior to aim a bow and shoot an arrow toward the North Star. 3. The name selected for the statue, Ad Astra is from the Latin language. Its significance with the statue is because the phrase comes from the Kansas state motto: Ad Astra Per Aspera, which means "To the Stars Through Difficulties." Ad Astra is not an Indian word or name.

4 Kansas State Capitol Guide for Young People Curriculum Packet Topping the Dome: Selecting a Symbol

Main Idea: To reach compromise means expressing opinions and recognizing controversy.

Background: Selecting art for public buildings is often difficult. Art in public buildings is often selected for its symbolic nature. Not everyone always agrees on the selection of a symbol. With different opinions comes controversy and group members must work to reach a compromise. By focusing on works of art selected to adorn our government buildings, students can better appreciate opinions, controversy, and compromise. This section also looks at how surrounding states reached compromise on their capitols.

5 Kansas State Capitol Guide for Young People Curriculum Packet Names As Symbols

Main Idea: Names for places and organization are often given out of respect or to honor and create a living memorial to a person or group of people. These names become symbols.

Background: In Kansas, many place names come from the Native Americans who have lived in Kansas. These names have often changed through time. Place names were first recorded by explorers who came to the place we now call Kansas. Spelling was inconsistent in the native languages of these explorers (primarily French and Spanish). In addition, Native American names and words sounded strange to the explorers who simply recorded the sounds that they heard. Through time the spelling and pronunciation of these names has changed so that their original sound and meaning is often lost.

Among Native Americans, names were given to people based on their accomplishments in life or based on physical or personality characteristics. Throughout life Native Americans often had several different names. These names might have many words to them, but not the standard first and last name that we utilize today. Often names of a respected family elder would become the last name for several members of the family as they adopted the European naming tradition we use today.

S Say It Again

When John J. Ingalls proposed a state motto for Kansas, he wanted to say "To the Stars Through Difficulties" in the Latin language. When we translate the Latin phrase that Ingalls used back to English, we can see that the words have several meanings. Use the words below to translate the Latin phrase into different English words that Ingalls might have used.

Ad (preposition) meaning: to, up to, towards, near, at until, on, by almost according to

Astr (a) (noun, singular = astr and plural = astra) meaning: star, heavenly body, planet/sun/moon the stars, constellation sky, heaven

Per (preposition) meaning: through (in space) during (in time) by, by means of

Asper (a) (adjective, singular = asper and plural = aspera) meaning: rude, unrefined cruel, violent, savage, raging, drastic stern, severe, bitter hard, rough, uneven, shaggy, course, harsh embossed, encrusted sharp, pointed, jagged, irregular, rugged, severe sour, pungent, grating, keen

Write your own phrase:

Many Latin words are part of the English language. Consider the following words. What do they have in common? Can you figure out the Latin word for "star" in these words? astrodome astronaut astronomy Kansas State Capitol Guide for Young People Curriculum Packet © Kansas State Historical Society, 2002 Developed in cooperation with the Kansas State Department of Education

Kansas State Capitol Guide for Young People Curriculum Packet © Kansas State Historical Society, 2002 Developed in cooperation with the Kansas State Department of Education Native American Place Names Many counties, rivers and streams, and towns in Kansas are named for Native American peoples. For example, a town in Labette County, three townships in Montgomery, Neosho, and Wilson counties, and a creek in Montgomery County share the name Chetopa. They are named for the Osage chief Tzi-Topah. Among the Osage, warriors earned their names. Tzi-Topah's name means "Four Lodges." He earned that name when he captured and burned four houses in a Pawnee village during a raid. Tzi-Topah was a respected tribal leader of the Little Osage branch of the Osage tribe. He knew his reputation would last only as long as his people's memories. Before he died, Tzi-Topah made one last parade through his village. He wore his warrior clothes so people would talk about him. Tzi-Topah knew the Osage would tell stories of his brave deeds for many years. He wanted to be remembered by his people. The following counties in Kansas have names that come from Native American people or languages: Chautauqua (a Seneca word for a lake in New York that may have come from the phrase "where the fish was taken out") Cherokee (a Native American tribe that was moved to Kansas from Georgia) Cheyenne (a Native American tribe that lived in western Kansas on the High Plains) Comanche (a Native American tribe that lived in western Kansas on the High Plains) Kiowa (a Native American tribe that lived in western Kansas on the High Plains) Miami (a Native American tribe that came to Kansas from the Great Lakes area) Nemaha (a Siouan name from the Omaha or Oto tribes that may mean "stream of the Omahas") Neosho (an Osage word for a river that may have come from the phrase "water made muddy or dirty") Osage (a Native American tribe that lived in eastern Kansas) Ottawa (a Native American tribe that came to Kansas from the Great Lakes area) Pawnee (a Native American tribe that lived in eastern Kansas) Pottawatomie (a Native American tribe that came to Kansas from the Great Lakes area) Republic (a French word for the Kitkehahki band of the Pawnee who lived in eastern Kansas) Shawnee (a Native American tribe that came to Kansas from the Ohio River valley) Wabaunsee (a Potawatomi name for a tribal leader that may have come from the phrase "dawn of day") Wichita (a Native American tribe that lived in central and southern Kansas) Wyandotte (a Native American tribe that came to Kansas from the Great Lakes area)
