For the Caddo people, pathways have always been more than trails — they are living networks that carry family, food, knowledge, and memory across the homelands. These routes reflect an ethic of care and sustainability, where tending fire, shaping clay, and gathering food are inseparable from responsibilities to family, community, and land.
From these pathways emerged arteries of exchange that carried seeds, salt, tools, and stories across the continent, connecting Caddo communities to distant Nations. Alongside these exchanges, currents of diplomacy tied the Caddo with neighboring peoples, sustaining balance and ensuring survival through even the most difficult times. Today, these pathways, arteries, and currents continue to guide Caddo well-being, identity, and cultural continuity.
Join us in welcoming Lauren Toho-Murrow Haupt, citizen of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and descendant of the Creek and Seminole Nations. Lauren is a professional anthropologist and Ph.D. candidate in Native American Studies at the University of New Mexico. Her work focuses on Tribal sovereignty, Indigenous resource management, and community-engaged research that supports cultural revitalization throughout ancestral Caddo homelands.
Lauren’s current work at Caddo Mounds explores culturally responsive policies for collaboration between Native Nations and government agencies through a Caddo-centered lens.
✨ Gather with us in person at Caddo Mounds SHS or online to learn, listen, and reflect on the enduring Caddo pathways that continue to shape life and connection today.
Webinar will be hosted by The Friends of the THC.
