KICKAPOO By: Princess Trevino Period 4
Tribe info • The Kickapoo were forced to move many times by the government. Eventually, some of them settled in Oklahoma on a reservation. • They finally applied for US citizenship and were federally recognized as the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas in 1983. • They inhabited a richly forested area and collected all the material necessary for their daily lives from the forest environment they lived in. A forest is also called woodlands. This is why the Indians who lived in these forests are called Woodland Indians.
region The Kickapoo migrated to Texas from the midwest. The map shows the migration of the Kickapoo in pink lines. They lived mostly in the Central and Great Plains of Texas.
culture • The Houses they live in are made from woven mats of cattails and look very much like the houses they used in the northern midwest United States which were made from birch bark. • Many times, women owned and watch over all the construction of the housescalled wickiups.

CultureCornhusk dolls • Cornhusk dolls were given to Kickapoo children to • play with. Some cornhusk dolls are used in sacred healing ceremonies. Both boy and girl dolls are made using the corn silk tassel for hair. Feet and body are stuffed with leaves and tied while arms and legs are made from braided or rolled husks. Dolls measure anywhere between four and ten inches tall. Sometimes a face is drawn, or red dots are painted for cheeks; but more often than not the doll's face is left blank.
