The Kickapoo People & Nation: Culture, History & Affiliations

This is a collection of words, photos and video clips about "The Kickapoo People & Nation.., with a brief overlook of some of their culture, traditions & history. -------------------------------------------------- The Kickapoo People (Kickapoo: Kiikaapoa or, Kiikaapoi) are an Algonquian-speaking and Indigenous Mexican tribe. The Anishinaabeg People say, the name "Kickapoo” (Giiwigaabaw in the Anishinaabe language and its Kickapoo cognate Kiwikapawa) means: "Stands here and there.” which may have referred to the tribe's migratory patterns. The name can also mean.. "wanderer". This interpretation is contested and generally believed to be a folk etymology. Today there are three federally recognized Kickapoo tribes in the United States: the Kickapoo Tribe of the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas. The Oklahoma and Texas bands re politically associated with each other. The Kickapoo in Kansas came from a relocation from southern Missouri, in 1832, as a land exchange from their reserve there. Around 3,000 people are enrolled tribal members. Another band.., the Tribu Kikapú, resides in Múzquiz Municipality in the Mexican state of Coahuila. Smaller bands live in Sonora and Durango.(*Also see the companion video in this channel, for "Wikasa & The Buzzard".., a Kickapoo Legend/Story.) ------------------- I claim no ownership of any of the clips, video, music and words expressed in this video...and employ my borrowing of them with much respect and thanks.
