The Kiowa Apache Indians, a small group of Athabascan (Apachean)-speaking people, ranged the area of present southwestern Oklahoma and the Panhandleqv of Texas during the nineteenth century. Although their common name is derived from the erroneous belief that they were a detached band of Apaches from New Mexico and Arizona, their myths and oral history tell of a northern home, probably near the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains, when they were an independent tribe with north and south divisions. They called themselves "Naishandina," which in their tongue meant "our people." While there is no clear account of the reasons why they migrated south, the fact that they were a small group among primarily hostile tribes caused them to become affiliated with the Kiowas for mutual protection; as far back as there is any record or knowledge, they have functioned as a band of the Kiowa tribe, though they speak a completely unrelated language. A few of the old Apache men usually learned a little Kiowan, but sign language was the primary means of communication between the Kiowa and its Apache band. Although many scholars lean toward the view that the Kiowa Apaches were linked with one of the Athabascan divisions, some speculate that they were originally eastern or Plains Apaches who became separated from their kinsmen when the Comanches first intruded into the southern Plains. Aside from linguistic differences, the Kiowa Apaches were practically indistinguishable from the Kiowa proper. They were buffalo-hunting, tepee-dwelling, horse and travois nomads, with soldier societies and medicine bundles (four). They participated in the annual Kiowa sun dance and camp circle. Like the Kiowas, the Kiowa Apaches believed in the passage of the spirit into the other world. Since death was awesome, names of the deceased were avoided and dropped from use.

Fort Sill, Oklahoma\n\nGeronimo\nby Sierra\n\n\n\n \n\nGoyahkla aka Geronimo (1829-1909)\n\n\n\nPortrait done by artist Gary Saderup\n\n\n\nIn the annals of American history, there is possibly no greater legend than Geronimo.   He was not a man of superhuman strength or power, and he was no medicine man or chief, as some believe.  He was an ordinary man with extraordinary vision, an ability to look deep into his soul and meet all adversity head-on.  He never wavered in his desire to live free, or die trying.  During his lifetime, he became a stranger in his own land, hunted by white man and Apache alike.  When finally forced to surrender, he found himself banished forever.  His story is the most heroic and tragic in the history of the Southwest.    \n\n"None had lost as I had, for I had lost all." Geronimo’s words and his vows of vengeance may have been the beginning of his rise to leadership, but only his courage and cunning kept him strong in the eyes of his people.  No other man has written his name so fiercely on the history of the land.  Lied to and betrayed by his white adversaries, he still remained a man of integrity, keeping his word once it was given.  He was wary and distrustful of everyone, even among his own people, yet he was known to be kind and affectionate to his family and friends.  His suspicions were real, and his judgments unbending, but it was his unrelenting hatreds which guided his thought.  He was a legend in his own time.  \n\nMention the word 'Apache,' and Geronimo comes to mind.  He was born Goyahkla, and some claim this translates to "One Who Yawns," although many, including modern Apaches, say otherwise.  His family was the Bedonkohe branch of the Chiricahua Nation. He gave his own birth date as June 1829, but he was almost certainly born before that. His place of birth is still in question, but it is known to be located near the headwaters of the Gila River, possibly near present-day Clifton, Arizona. At the time of his birth, this area was part of Mexico. Much later, the Fort Sill Apaches would suggest his birth name meant "intelligent, shrewd, clever," descriptions which aptly suited him all his adult life.\n\nHis own family was small, but like all Apaches, Geronimo counted all his relatives as his "brothers." Chief Juh of the Nedhai band in Sonora was a true brother-in-law, as was Chief Nana of the Warm Springs band. When he later married a niece of Cochise, Geronimo acquired not only the greatest Apache leader in history as his uncle, but also Chief Mangas Coloradas of the Mimbreno band as another uncle. His closest "brothers" were Naiche, Victorio, Loco, and Chihauhau, all famous war chiefs in their time. All these men figured prominently in Apache history. Throughout his life, Geronimo’s family ties would always be very strong.\n\nGeronimo’s war with Mexico most likely started in 1835 when the Mexican state of Sonora, in an all-out effort to rid the Sierra Madres of the Nedhai band, passed a law offering one hundred pesos (roughly equal to one American dollar) for every scalp of an Apache warrior. Two years later, the state of Chihuahua set a scale of one hundred pesos for a warrior’s scalp, fifty for a woman’s, and twenty-five for a child’s. Many white mercenaries killed Apaches in the United States and took the scalps into Mexico for the bounty. It became increasingly dangerous for any Apache to live anywhere in Apacheria. With his first wife Alope, his mother Juana, and three children to support, Geronimo moved into the Big and Little Burro Mountains area of Arizona, where he met the magnificent Mimbreno leader, Mangas Coloradas, father-in-law of the famous Cochise. Geronimo formed a deep and lasting friendship with the Mimbreno chief.\n\nBy the summer of 1850, Geronimo and his Bedonkohe adherents had come under the full leadership and protection of Mangas Coloradas.

white settlers believe in cultivating privately owned land, while the natives believed land belonged to everyone and could not be purchased. whites were farmers, while natives were hunters and gatherers. the white americans promised to reserve certain lands in the west for the native americans, however after many broken treatys they began to distrust the white men. white settlers invaded sand creek even though the cheyenne indians were not attacking and hoped for peace because of bitterness between the two groups. the ghost dance was supposed to bring back the native american way of life before white man interferred. in the battle of little bighorn, white soldiers were severely outnumbered and defeated by the native americans, fueling the fire between the two goups even more.\n\n\nthats pretty much all i can tell you but i hope it helps

Check the Cherokee Nation's official website...\n\nGood luck...\n\nBTW, my maternal grandmother was a full-blooded member of the Cherokee Nation who enjoyed teaching her neighbors and friends in Monrovia, CA(where she died in 1973) about tribal cultures and traditions unique to the Cherokees...

http://cherokeehistory.com/map1.html\n\nThats a good site with lots of maps. The Cherokee were forced to move west so I'd imagine theyre all somewhere in Oklahoma or somewhere in that general region now. Several of my ancestors were Cherokees and I believe my distant relatives live in Oklahoma, but I could be wrong.\n\n\nPeace

The Ho-Chunk and Winnebago are tribes of Native Americans, which were once a single tribe living in Wisconsin.\nKokopelli is a god worshipped in many tribes. He is a humpbacked flutist. Among the Winnebago, he has a penis which he detached and placed in a river in order to have sex with the girls who bathed in the river.\nA Menominee chief saw a vision on the beach of Lake Michigan. A huge flock of ravens flew past him, shining brightly with color, unlike ordinary ravens. One landed and turned into a naked man. The chief ordered his people to give him clothing, for he deduced that he was a great chieftain. The rest of the ravens also turned into people and became the Winnebago.\n\nQuite interesting mythology. Weird.\n\nMore info:\nThe Winnebago/Ho-Chunk occupied the area around Green Bay in Wisconsin, reaching beyond Lake Winnebago to the Wisconsin River and to the Rock River in Illinois. The influx of Native Americans fleeing eastern intertribal wars reduced their lands and brought European diseases which severely reduced the tribal population. The tribe traditionally practiced corn agriculture in addition to hunting. They were not advanced in agriculture but living on Green Bay they would fish, collect wild rice, gather sugar from maple trees, and would hunt wild animals or hunt game.\n\nThrough a series of moves imposed by the U.S. government in the 19th century, the tribe was moved to reservations in Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota and finally in Nebraska. Through these moves, many tribe members returned to previous homes, especially to Wisconsin despite repeated roundups and removals. The U.S. government finally allowed the Wisconsin Winnebago to homestead land there. The Nebraska tribe members are today the separate Winnebago tribe.
