"Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma is one of three federally recognized Kickapoo tribes in the United States. Their tribal jurisdiction encompasses Oklahoma, Pottawatomie, and Lincoln Counties. Membership to the tribe requires a minimum blood quantum of ¼ Kickapoo decent."

"The Kickapoo are a Woodland tribe, speaking an Algonquian language, and were related to the Sac and Fox. They first came into contact with Europeans in the mid-seventeenth century in southwestern Wisconsin. By the mid-18th century the Kickapoo lived in two communities, the “Prairie Band,” along Illinois’s Sangamon River, and the “Vermillion Band,” east of the Wabash River in Indiana."

"The Prairie Kickapoo band resisted acculturation and continued to migrate, going first to Missouri and then to the Spanish province of Texas before the 1821 Mexican Revolution. Spanish officials gave them land in Texas. However, after the Texas Revolution, the Republic of Texas did not want them. In 1839, they were forcibly removed, and many traveled to Mexico. There, the Mexican government gave the tribe a land grant and eventually placed them at Nacimiento in exchange for protecting their northern borders. Some Kickapoo decided to settle in two villages in Indian Territory. Some settled on Wild Horse Creek in the Chickasaw Nation, and the others settled in Creek Nation near the confluence of the Canadian and Little rivers. Many Kickapoo would eventually leave the Indian Territory during the Civil War and rejoin those in Mexico."
