The Missouri land I view to be my own was prevously used by six indigenous nations, according to the website Native-land.ca, developed by Victor Temprano. These nations are: Kiikaapoi (Anglicized to Kickapoo); Kaskaskia; Osage; Myaamia; O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ (Anglicized to O-ga-xpa); and Očhéthi Šakówiŋ.

The Kickapoo migrated to my area in the midwestern USA after Europeans obtained their land further east by the Greenville Treaty of 1795. About forty years later, and then again about twenty years after that, the group again ceded their land by treaty and were moved further west and south. Today there are three recognized Kickapoo tribes in the United States: the Kickapoo Tribe of Indians of the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas.(1) My area also was the original ancestral homeland of the Kaskaskia, who supported the British against the Americans during the Revolutionary War. 1832 saw an escalation in federal removal policies, and the tribe was forced to move west. The tribe's descendants are found among the Peoria tribe of Oklahoma.(2) The third group in my area was the Osage, which was the largest subsection of the Southern Sioux and had a sophisticated society in which they lived in permanent villages, hunted, and raised crops. Europeans forced them off their lands twice, in 1810 and 1872, and they ended up on Osage County Oklahoma, where they inhabit land which has large reserves of oil and natural gas, making them the wealthiest tribe in North America.(3) The Myaamia, which means "downstream people," numbered in the tens of thousands of people at one point. Numerous treaties, including the Greenville Treaty of 1795, forced them off their land. In 1846, 500 people remained, and they were corralled at gunpoint and made to migrate by boat, horseback, and wagon to a reservation in Oklahoma. 100 adults survived the journey. They are now recognized as the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma.(4) Evidence suggests that the O-ga-xpa Ma-zhoⁿ people migrated west before the Europeans arrived. At one time, they inhabited the Cahokia, Illinois area, which at the time was the largest metropolitan area north of the Mesoamerican settlements of Mexico. Like the Myaamia, their name also means "downstream people," and it derives from when they got separated from the rest of their group while migrating across the Mississippi river. They settled along the Mississippi River in Arkansas, but half the population succumbed to smallpox, which they had contracted from nearby French settlers. Years of war and disease decimated the population, so starting in 1818, the group succumbed to various land treaties presented by European settlers and migrated elsewhere. They now constitute the Quapaw nation in northeastern Oklahoma.(5) Očhéthi Šakówiŋ translates to "Seven Council Fires" and refers to a united group of seven bands that is more commonly known as the Sioux. They periodically journeyed into Missouri to hunt, but those lands were ceded to Europeans in 1836.(6) It is clear from the history of these groups that the indigenous people of the United States were not a homogenous group of "Indians" but instead had their own distinct cultures and languages and societies that are now corralled into space that their conquerors allocated for them after taking their lands.

In response to the discussion of the word "authochthonous" in the Zoom call, the Collins Cobuild Dictionary defines the word as "inhabiting a place...from the earliest known times." The use dates from the 1640s. Etymonline.com says that the word derives from the Greek word "autokhthon", which means "sprung from the land itself," with "auto-" meaning "self" and "khthon" meaning "earth," from the root "dhghem" meaning "earth."
