KICKAPOO
The Kickapoo Indians are an Algonquian tribe that originated in present-day Michigan and Wisconsin. Eventually the Kickapoo
settled in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Mexico
in permanent villages.
HISTORY
The Kickapoo were forced to move many times by the government. Eventually, some of them settled in Oklahoma on a reservation.
They finally applied for US citizenship and were federally recognized as the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas in 1983.
They inhabited a richly forested area and collected all the material necessary for their daily lives. This is why the Indians who lived in these forests are called Woodland Indians.
DID YOU KNOW?
REGIONThe Kickapoo migrated to Texas from the midwest. The map shows the migration of the Kickapoo in pink lines. They lived mostly in the Central and Great Plains of Texas.
• Rolling grassy lands
• Thick grasses • Cross
Timbers area - large areas of hardwood trees
• Limestone rock
• Higher elevation because limestone doesn't wear down easily
DESCRIPTION OF REGIONS;
• The Houses they live in are made from woven mats of cattails and look very much like the houses they used in the northern midwest United States which were made from birch bark.
• Many times, women owned and watched over all the construction of the houses called wickiups.
CULTURE…SHELTER
Kickapoo women often oversaw or built the
wickiupsTraditional Wickiup
Cornhusk dolls were given to Kickapoo children to play with.
Some cornhusk dolls are used in sacred healing ceremonies.
Sometimes a face is drawn, or red dots are painted for cheeks; but more often than not the doll's face is left blank.
CULTURECORNHUSK DOLLS
Deerskin was used for clothing until the arrival of the white man.
The Kickapoo were later exposed to European dress they took advantage of the pre-made fabrics instead of tanning hides for clothes.
Sometimes the men wore more traditional clothing such as buckskin leggings and breechcloths.
The men decorate their clothing with silver brooches or exquisitely crafted beadwork.
Traditional clothing for women consisted of finely tanned garments.
CULTURE….CLOTHING
In the winter they ate buffalo, deer and elk.
They also grew corn, squash, and beans.
CULTURE…FOOD
Kickapoos wore warm clothes in winter and cool
clothes in summer due to
the climate
Due to the climate, Kickapoos farmed during the warmer months and hunt buffalo and deer during the cold
winters
Shelter: Due to the climate, the
Kickapoos lived in “wickiup” that
protected them from the cold winters and kept them cool in the
warmer seasons
