affiliation is consistent with the traditional territory of The Osage
Nation and Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma with overlap from
the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas; Kickapoo Tribe of Indians of
the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas; and the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma.
Archaeological evidence shows cultural descent from the Woodland
culture to The Osage Nation; Otoe-Missouria Tribe of Indians, Oklahoma;
