The weekend will include artist discussions, film screenings and a talk from Joy Harjo, the 23rd Poet Laureate of the United States.

Becca Martin Brown returns to Ozarks at Large! This week—and every week following—Becca and Kyle Kellams will discuss modern events with a deeper history. Today, Brown and Kellams speak with Elaina Williams about bluff dwellings at Hobbs State Park.

Thursday morning, a dozen cyclists rode into Pea Ridge National Military Park for the 40th annual edition of the Remember the Removal Bike Ride. The ride from Georgia to Tahlequah honors the thousands of people forced from their homes to march along the Trail of Tears, which passed through what is now Pea Ridge National Military Park. Ozarks at Large's Kyle Kellams visited the scene.

On today's show, we learn more about a ride to honor ancestors. Also, we hear from more people displaced by conflict for World Refugee Day. Plus, as summer arrives today, lifeguards take their spot at the pool.
