jan 1, 1673 - Kansas Territory

Description:

Kansas and Osage Indian Nations are natural to plains and what will become Kansas Territory. These tribes dominate Eastern Kansas, roaming their own homelands, until the Indian Removal Acts force dozens of tribes to move from their eastern homes and settle in what will in Kansas Territory. In matters of dress, manner of speech, acting, praying, and waging war, the Kansas very closely resemble the Osages, neighbors with whom they maintained friendly relations and often inter-married.
