OKLAHOMA 
 

Alabama tribe. - This was one of the tribes of the Creek Confederacy, 
part of which accompanied the Creeks to Oklahoma early in the nineteenth 
century and settled near Weleetka, where a small station on the Frisco 
Railway bears their name. (See Alabama.)

Apache tribe. - The name was given to a tribe or rather a group 
of tribes. (See Jicarilla under Colorado; Kiowa Apache, under
Kansas; Lipan under Texas; also Apache under New Mexico.)

Apalachee tribe. - A few individuals of this tribe removed to Oklahoma 
from Alabama or Louisiana. Dr. Gatschet learned the names of two or 
three individuals about 1884. (See Florida.)

Arapaho tribe. - In early times the Arapaho ranged to some extent 
over the western sections of Oklahoma, and part of them (the Southern 
Arapaho) were finally given a reservation and later allotted land 
in severalty in the west central part along with the Southern Cheyenne. 
(See Wyoming.)

Biloxi tribe. - A few Biloxi reached Oklahoma and settled with the 
Choctaw and Creeks. (See Mississippi.)

Caddo tribe. - The Caddo moved to Oklahoma in 1859 and were given 
a reservation in the southwestern part about Anadarko, where they 
were allotted land in severalty. (See Texas.)

Cherokee tribe. - The Cherokee were moved to a large reservation 
in the northeastern part of Oklahoma in the winter of 1838-39. After 
nearly 70 years of existence under their own tribal government they 
were allotted land in severalty and became citizens of the United 
States. (See Tennessee.)

Cheyenne tribe. - The history of the Southern Cheyenne parallels 
that of the Southern Arapaho as given above. (See South Dakota.)

Chickasaw tribe. - The Chickasaw moved to the present Oklahoma between 
1822 and 1840. They had their own government for many years but are 
now citizens. (See Mississippi.)





Choctaw tribe. - (West Nation) 
  



This tribe moved to Oklahoma about the same time as the Chickasaw 
though several thousand remained in their old country. 
Like the Chickasaw they had their own national government for a long 
time but are now citizens at large of Oklahoma. (See Mississippi; )





The Choctaws divided their land west of Arkansas into three Political
Districts: 

1. Okla-Falaya, east of the Kiamichi and extending North
from the Red River nearly 75 miles along the Arkansas boundary;

2. Pushmataha, west of the Kianichi to a line running North
from the source of Iland Bayou; 

3. Moshulatubbee, the territory along the Arkansas and Canadian rivers,
extending nearly 120 miles west of the Arkansas boundary.

The name of Okia Malaya District was changed to Apukshunnuhhee, 
and a fourth district on the west, assigned to the Chickasaws by the
Treaty of Doaksville in 1837 was to become the Chickasaw
Nation by the terms of a new treaty of separation in 1855. [REF:#003]


The Choctaw Nation made many changes in its basic law
between 1834 and 1860. The constitution written at Skullyville
in 1857, which abolished the office of district chief and established
a National Governor, was opposed by a group which wrote a new constitution 
at Doaksville and set up a rival goverument. The compromise constitution 
of 1860 made use of the older organization with district chiefs and courts 
and established a new national government with a two-house General
Council, a principal chief and Supreme Court.

As in the other governments of the Five Civilized Tribes, the
Choctaw basic law was democratic with wide suffrage and extensive
eligibility of citizens to hold office. Sharp separation of 
legislative executive, and judicial functions was provided in
the constitution. The bill of rights included guarantees of trial
by jury, religious liberty, and freedom of assembly.

Moshulatubbee District had 5 Choctaw Counties: 
1. Gaines,
2. San Bois, 
3. Skullyville, 
4. Sugar Loaf, 
5. Tobucksy,

Apukshunnubbee District had 7 Choctaw Counties:
1. Boktucklo, 
2. Cedar, 
3. Eagle, 
4. Nashoba
5. Red River, 
6. Towson, 
7. Wade,

Pushmataha District there were 5 original Counties:
1. Atoka, 
2. Blue, 
3. Jack's Fork.
4. Kiamisci, 

The General Council had authority to alter County boundaries,
and in 1886 a new County was created from land organized under
Blue and Kiamichi Counties and was named Jackson.

The elective officers of the counties were Judge, Sheriff, and 
Ranger, with two-year terms. The Sheriff could appoint deputies,
and the county Judge selected a citizen to serve as Clerk and
Treasurer. The counties were units of local government and
election districts for members of the Council.

CHOCTAW NATION (West) - IMPORTANT PLACES

Beginning with the Treaty of Doak's Stand in 1820, the Choctaw
Nation held land in the West that was recognized by the United 
States as their own; and after 1825 the Choctaw Nation was
separate from Arkansas Territory. As western agent. Major
William McCLELLAN took steps in 1827 toward the construction
of agency buildings at Skullyville, and within two years about
160 Choctaw Indians had moved to the district on the Arkansas
River. With the general removal from Mississippi after the
Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek in 1830, towns in the new
Choctaw Nation developed rapidly.


Near Tuskahoma, which became the capital in 1834, a new
council house was built, which was called Nanih Waiya, the
name Of the Choctaw sacred mound in Mississippi. Boggy
Depot, on te Clear Boggy River near the western border of
Pushmataha District, became a trade center of some importance.

At various times Boggy Depot served as the national capital
and, in addition to SkullyviLle and Tuskahoma, other towns
were used as the seat of the government. Before the Civil War
the Council had designated Fort Towson and Doaksville as the
capital for brief periods; and in 1862 a constitutional amendment
moved the capital to Armstrong Academy, which received the name Cliahta Tamaha.

Doaksville hecame the largest town in the Choctaw Nation (West)
and, before the ctnd of its prosperous, era, the principal trade
center of the entire Indian Territory. The United States had
established a Post Office at Miller's Court House, which had
been designated as a County Seat in Arkansas Territory about a
year before the boundary line of 1825 revealed that it was West
ot the territorial border. A Post Office was established at Doaksville
in 1832, Skullyville, 1834, Perryville, 1841, and Boggy Depot in 1849.

Atoka, Where the Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railway line
crossed the old Butterfield Stage route, becam,e one of he 
imortant trade centers of the Pushmataha District. Wheelock
Mission, its stone church dating back to 1846, the oldest church
building in Okiahoina, is one of the many places of historiral
significance in the Chociaw Naiton (West)

Little River, with its principal tributarv, Mountain Fork, is
notable for its scenic beauty. The Kiamichi and Poteau rivers
with their branches are also attractive examples of mountain
streams surrounded by timbered hills.

Osage in northeastern Oklahoma.

Potawatomi tribe. - The Potawatomi of the Woods were moved from 
Kansas to Oklahoma in 1867-81 and given a reservation in the central 
part of the State. (See Michigan.)

Quapaw tribe. - Lands were granted to the Quapaw in the extreme 
southeastern part of Kansas and the extreme northeastern part of Oklahoma

been living with the Seneca in Eansas, also moved to Oklahoma but 
settled in the extreme northeastern part of the State; and in 1869 
the third and largest section removed to the lands of the Cherokee 
by agreement with that tribe. (See Tennessee.)

Tawakoni tribe. -  Said to refer to "a river bend among red hills," 
or "neck of land in the water." The synonyms should not be confounded 
with those of the Tonkawa. Also called: Three Canes, an English 
form resulting from a mistaken attempt to translate the French spelling 
of their name, Troiscannes.

Tawakoni Connections.- The Tawakoni belonged to the Caddoan linguistic 
stock and were most closely connected with the Wichita, the two languages 
differing but slightly.

Tawakoni Loction.- They were on the Canadian River about north of 
the upper Washita. (See also Texas.)

Tawakoni  Villages; Flechazos, on the west side of Brazos River 
near the present Waco.

Tawakoni History.- The Tawakoni were first met in the above location 
in company with the Wichita and other related tribes. Within the next 
50 years, probably as a result of pressure on the part of  more northerly 
peoples, they moved south and in 1772 they were settled in two groups 
on Brazos and Trinity Rivers, about Waco and above Palestine. By 1779 
the group on the Trinity had rejoined those on the Brazos. In 1824 
part of the Tawakoni were  again back on Trinity River. In 1855 they 
were established on a reservation near Fort Belknap on the Brazos, 
but in 1859 were forced, by the hostility of the Texans, to move north 
into southwestern Oklahoma, where they were officially incorporated 
with the Wichita.

Tawakoni Population.- Mooney (1928) includes the Tawakoni among 
the Wichita (q. v.). In 1772 Mezieres reported 36 houses and 120 warriors 
in the Trinity village and 30 families in the Brazos village, perhaps 
220 warriors in all. In 1778-79 he reported that these two towns, 
then on the Brazos, contained more than 300 warriors. Sibley (1832) 
reported that in 1805 the Tanakoni, probably including the Waco, numbered 
200 men. In 1859 they were said to number 204 exclusive of the Waco. 
The census of 1910 records only a single survivor of this tribe. 

Tawehash tribe.  - Meaning unknown. Lesser and Weltfish (1932) suggest 
that this group was identical with a Wichita band reported to them 
as Tiwa. They have been given some of the same synonyms as the Wichita 
(q. v.).

Tawehash Connections.- The Tawehash belonged to the Caddoan linguistic 
stock and were related closely to the Wichita, Tawakoni, Waco, and 
Yscani.

Tawehash Location.- Their earliest known home was on Canadian River 
north of the headwaters of the Washita.

Tawehash Villages. - In 1778 Mezieres found two native villages 
to which he gave the names San Teodoro and San Bernardo.

Tawehash History.- The Tawehash were encountered in the above situation 
by La Harpe in 1719. They moved south about the same time as the Tawakoni 
and other tribes of the group and were found on Red River in 1759, 
when they defeated a strong Spanish force sent against them. They 
remained in this same region until in course of time they united with 
the Wichita and disappeared from history. Their descendants are among 
the Wichita in Oklahoma. 

Tawehash Population.- Most writers give estimates of the Tawehash 
along with the Wichita and other related tribes. In 1778 they occupied 
two villages aggregating 160 lodges and numbered 800 fighting men 
and youths.

Tonkswa tribe. - In 1884 the remnant of the Tonkawa were removed 
to Oklahoma and the next year settled on a reservation near Ponca, 
where they were finally allotted land in severalty. (See Texas.)

Tuskegee tribe. - A Creek division believed to be connected linguistically 
with the Alabama Indians. It removed to Oklahoma with the other Creeks 
and established itself in the northwestern part of the allotted territory. 
(See Alabama.)

Waco tribe. - According to Lesser and Weltfish (1932), from Wehiko, 
a corruption of Mexico, and given the name because they were always 
fighting with the Mexicans. The same authorities report that the Waco 
are thought to have been a part of the Tawakoni without an independent 
village but separated later. Also called:  Gentlemen Indians, by 
Bollaert (1850); Houechas, Huanchane, by French writers, possibly 
intended for this tribe.

Waco Connections.- The Waco were most closely related to the Tawakoni 
of the Wichita group of tribes belonging to the Caddoan Stock. 

Waco Location.- They appear first in connection with their village 
on the site of the present Waco, Tex., though their original home 
was in Oklahoma with the Wichita.

Waco Villages. - Quiscat, named from its chief, on the west side 
of the Brazos on a bluff or plateau above some springs and not far 
from the present Waco.

Waco History.- According to native informants as reported by Lesser 
and Weltfish (1932), the Waco are formerly supposed to have constituted 
a part of the Tawakoni without an independent village. It has also 
been suggested that they may have been identical with the Yscani, 
but Lesser and Weltfish identify the Yscani with another band. Another 
possibility is that the Waco are descendants of the Shuman tribe. 
(See Texas.) In later times the Waco merged with the Tawakoni and 
Wichita.

Waco Population.- In 1824 the Waco had a village of 33 grass houses 
and about 100 men, and a second village of 15 houses and an unnamed 
number of men. In 1859, just before their removal from Texas, they 
numbered 171. They are usually enumerated with the Wichita (q. v.), 
but the census of 1910 returned 5 survivors.

Waco Connection in which they have become noted.- Almost the sole 
claim to special remembrance enjoyed by the Waco is the fact that 
its name was adopted by the important city of Waco, Tex. It also appears 
as the name of places in Sedgwick County, Kans.; Madison County, Ky.; 
Jasper County, Mo.; Smith County, Miss.; Haralson County, Ga.; York 
County, Nebr.; Cleveland County, N. C.; Stark County, Ohio; and in 
Tennessee; but it is uncertain whether the designations of all these 
came originally from the Waco tribe. 

Wea tribe. - (See Miami tribe.)

Wichita tribe. - From wits, "man." Also known as: Black Pawnee, 
common early name; Do'gu'at, Kiown name, meaning "tattooed people."  Do'kana, 
Comanche name, meaning "tattooed people.";  Freckled Panis, from 
above;  Guichita, Spanish form of the name; Hinasso, Arapaho name; 
Hoxsuwitan, Cheyenne name; Ki'-ci-ku'-cuc, Omaha name; Kirikiris, 
Kirikurus, or Kitikitish, reported as own name  but properly the 
name of one of their bands; Mitsita, Kansa name; Paein wassabe, 
Ponca and Omaha name, meaning "Black bear
Pawnee."; Paneassa, various early writers; Panis noirs, early 
French name; Panis piques, early French name; Panyi Wacewe, Iowa, 
Oto, and Missouri name; Picks, from Panis piques; Pitchinavo, 
Comanche name, meaning "painted breasta"; Prickled Panis, referring 
to their tattooing; Quirasquiris, French form of native name; Quivira, 
from chronicles of Coronado expedition; Sonik'ni, Comanche name, 
meaning "grass lodges."; Speckled Pawnee, referring to their tattooing. 
Tuxquet, see Do'gu'at.

Wichita Connections.- The Wichita were one of the principal  tribes 
of the Caddoan linguistic family.

Wichita Location.- Their earliest certain location was on Canadian 
River north of the headwaters of the Washita. (See also Texas).

Wichita Subdivisions. - Most of the so-called subdivisions of the 
Wichita were independent tribes, some of which, including the Tawakoni, 
Waco, Tawehash, and Yscani, have been treated separately. The others 
Akwith or Akwesh, Kirikiris, Isis (see Yscani), Tokane (see Yscani), 
and Itaz- were probably only temporary bands. Mooney (1928) also mentions 
the Kirishkitsu (perhaps a Wichita name for the Kichai) and the Asidahetsh 
and Kishkat, which cannot be identified.

Wichita History.- The Wichita rose to fame at an early period owing 
to the fact that they were visited by Coronado in 1541, the Spaniards 
calling the Wichita country the province of Quivira. They were then 
farther north than the location given above, probably near the great 
bend of the Arkansas and in the center of Kansas. A Franciscan missionary, 
Juan de Padilla, remained 3 years among them in the endeavor to convert 
them to Christianity, but he was finally killed by them through jealousy 
on account of his work for another tribe. In 1719 La Harpe found the 
Wichita and several allied tribes on the south Canadian River in the 
territory later embraced in the Chickasaw Nation. Within the next 
50 years they were forced south by hostile northern and eastern tribes 
and by 1772 were on the upper courses of the Red and Brazos Rivers. 
In 1835 they made their first treaty with the United States Government. 
They continued to live in southwestern Oklahoma until the Civil War, 
when they fled to Eansas until it was over. In 1867 they returned 
and were placed on a reservation in Caddo County, Okla., where they 
have since remained. 

Wichita Population.- In 1772 the Wichita and the Tawehash seem to 
have had about 600 warriors. Mooney (1928) estimates that in 1780 
the confederated Wichita tribes had a population of about 3,200. Bolton 
(1914), on information derived from Mezieres, estimated about 3,200 
for the Wichita proper in 1778. In 1805 Sibley estimated the Wichita 
at 400 men. In 1868, 572 were reported in the confederated tribes. 
The census of 1910 gives 318, including  the remnant of the Kichai. 
In 1937 there were 385.

Wichita Connection in which they have become noted.- Although a 
tribe of considerable power in early days, the Wichita will be remembered 
in future principally from the prominence of the city of Wichita, 
Kans., which bears their name. It is also the name of counties in 
Kansas and Texas a ridge of hills in southwestern Oklahoma called 
the Wichita Mountains, a river in Texas, and places in Oklahoma, besides 
Wichita Falls in Wichita County, Tex. The identification of this tribe 
with the Province of Quivira gives it additional interest.

Wyandot tribe. - In 1867 a part of the Wyandot who had been living 
in Kansas was removed to the northeastern corner of Oklahoma where 
they have since remained. It is probable that this body includes more 
of the old Tionontati than of the true Wyandot. (See Ohio.)

Yecani tribe. - Meaning unknown. Also spelled Ascani, Hyscani, Ixcani.

Yecani Connections.- This was one of the confederated Wichita tribes 
and therefore without doubt related to them in speech, and thus of 
the Caddoan linguistic family.

Yecani Location.- The Yscani are first mentioned in connection with 
the Wichita and allied tribes on the South Canadian in the territory 
later assigned to the Chickasaw Nation. Part, however, were reported 
to be living 60 leagues farther toward the northwest.

Yecani History.- The Yscani evidently moved south from the above- 
mentioned location at the same time as the other tribes. They kept 
particularly close to the Tawakoni, with whose history their own is 
almost identical. As the name Yscani disappears from the early annals 
shortly before the name Waco appears in them, it has been thought 
that the Waco were the Yscani under a new name, but Lesser and Weltfish 
(1932) identify the Waco with the Isis or Tokane, perhaps both. (See 
Waco above.)

Yecani Population.- In 1772 their village was reported to contain 
60 warriors, and about 1782 the entire tribe was said to have about 
90 families.

Yuchi tribe. - Although originally an independent tribe, the Yuchi 
united with the Creeks before coming west, and they settled in the 
Creek Nation, in the northwestern part of that territory, where their 
descendants still live. (See Georgia.)
