Everything about The Kickapoo totally explained
The
Kickapoos (
Kickapoo:
Kiikaapoa or
Kiikaapoi) are one of the
Algonquian speaking
Native American tribes. According to the
Anishinaabeg, the name "Kickapoo" (
Giiwigaabaw in the
Anishinaabe language and its
Kickapoo cognate
Kiwikapawa) means "Stands Here and there" and refers to the tribes migratory patterns. This interpretation is contested and generally believed to be a
folk etymology.
There are three recognized Kickapoo tribes remaining in the
United States: the Kickapoo of
Kansas, the Kickapoo of
Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of
Texas. There is another band in the
Mexican state of
Coahuila. There is also a large group in
Arizona. Thus far the former two groups have been politically lumped with the Texas band. Additionally, Kickapoos live in small groups throughout the western United States. Around 3,000 people claim to be tribal members.
Language
The Kickapoo speak an
Algonquian language closely related to that of the
Sauk and Fox.
Reservations
There are three Kickapoo reservations, one in Kansas, one in Texas, and the other in Oklahoma.
