On the east wall of the former Delia Grade School in southwestern Jackson County is a painted mural that features a depiction of two young members of the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, Knowee Potts and Kiwe Miller, performing a Native American dance — a mural that was recently completed by Rossville High School art teacher Garrett Larson. On Sunday afternoon, a crowd composed mainly of Potawatomi and Delia residents gathered in front of the mural to watch Potts and Miller dance in front of the mural that celebrates them and their people. “It brought back memories of being there as a little kid, seeing all my nephews and nieces playing in the old Delia playground,” said Potts, who spent part of his childhood in Delia and graduated from Royal Valley High School in 2019. “It was an honor to dance my style in front of everyone in Jackson County.”
