  1. Emigrant Tribes

  2. By the 1830s, the world of the native Kanza and Osage tribes changed. Their land was no longer their own. Native groups all around the East and Midwest had been defeated and pushed from their land by incoming European settlers. The question was what to do with these eastern Indians. An idea was to create a Permanent Indian Frontier in what is now eastern Kansas and Oklahoma. It was hoped that Indians located here would be undisturbed by white settlers and the alcohol trade. But that didn’t happen.

  3. Large and small bands of Indians from the Great Lakes to Florida were removed to this Indian Territory. The Cherokees called their brutal removal journey “The Trail of Tears” and the Pottawatomies called theirs “The Trail of Death.”

  4. Several native groups were relocated to the area now known as Franklin County: Ottawas, Chippewas, Munsees, Sac and Fox, Pottawatomies, Shawnees, Peorias, Piankeshaws, Kaskaskias and Weas.
