What Indian tribes originated in Kansas?
Submitted by Janessa S.
I am interested in learning about the nation(s) that inhabited a particular area - specifically what is now known as the counties of Leavenworth and Jefferson in the NE corner of the state of Kansas.
Is there such a resource that documents, even roughly, what nations might have occupied this area over the span of the last several centuries? I understand that geographical occupation can be influenced by nomadic behavior, unmapped/ancient boundaries, and historical events.
After visiting several books, maps, and websites, I've narrowed it down to a few possibilities: Kiowa, Pawnee, Osage, Cheyenne, and possible Missouri. I am by no means a scholar on this subject, and I desire to learn for my own personal curiosity. I've found contradictions in the resources I have, so I am coming to you for guidance.
~Submitted by: Jenesa S.
Answer:
I don't know a lot specifically about Leavenworth and Jefferson counties, but I can tell you about the many indian tribes that live or have lived in Kansas. Perhaps by knowing the known locations of these tribes, by process of elimination we can tell which ones inhabited the counties in question. In a preliminary study, it appears the Delaware, Wyandotte, and Kickapoo tribes were the predominant tribes in the 1800s.
