Valley Center High School graduate Pauline Sharp will present a "Historical Performance of Lucy Jayiah Eads ‘Chief Lucy of the Kaw Indians'" at 2 p.m. Jan. 20 at the Valley Center Library, 314 E. Clay.

Sharp, a citizen of the Kaw Nation who served on the board of trustees for the Mid-American All-Indian Center in Wichita, researched and studied the history and culture of the Kanza (Kaw) people. She tells the story of the Kaw through the character of her grandmother, Lucy Tayiah Eads.

Eads was born in 1888 in Indian Territory, which is now Oklahoma. She was the adopted daughter of Chief Wah-Shun-Gah, who served as principal chief of the Kanza from 1885 to 1908. Eads attended Haskell Indian School from 1901 to 1908. In 1922, she was elected the first woman chief of the Kaw tribe. She served until 1934.
