This source talks about where the Kickapoo people lived and all the area that they took up. It also talks a little bit about how Kickapoo and Shawnee people were believed to once be a single tribe but separated after an argument over a bear’s paw. It talks about the migration they had and how they moved to Wisconsin then to Illinois. And then by treaty they were relocated to southern Missouri, but less than half stayed, and the other half went wondering south and west. This source is authoritative because it gives a lot of information about the people and the information looks to be reliable with other citations connected to it. I plan to use this source in order to add to the history section on the main Kickapoo page in order to add more detail and make the page longer.

In this scholarly journal, the author Joseph talked about how the people of the Kickapoo tribe had to leave their original homeland of Wisconsin during the 19th century and travel throughout the south to many states to find new homes. States such as Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and Mexico were the new homes of the Kickapoo people that they had to adapt too. Much like the Maisin people, they were thrown into something they weren't comfortable with and had to adjust to new environments but still kept to their traditional values.

Stated in this writing the Kickapoo people were apparently a more traditionally oriented tribe than any other. Viewed by many writers and anthropologists they were ascribed to the same belief. This paper also explains the culture background of the Kickapoo people and their resistance within cultural changes.

In this scholarly journal, the author Herring talks about the prophet Kenekuk. He mentions that Kenekuk had astute leadership that allowed the small group to maintain their reservation in Kansas. The basis of Kenekuk's leadership began in the religious revivals of the 1820's and 1830's, with a blend of Protestantism and Catholicism. After the Kickapoo people got relocated to Kansas they resisted the ideas of Protestantism and Catholicism and started focusing more on farming, so they could provide food for the rest of the tribe. After all of this had happened they remained Indian and claimed some of the original land that they had before it was taken by hostile Americans.

In this article it talks about the Kickapoo people that lived in the mexico and Texas area. The civil war was going on at this time during this time causing the Kickapoo to be on the move a lot because of all the battles that took place during this time. In 1873 Cavalry Colonel Ranald S. Mackenzie was ordered to attack the Kickapoo villages some 35 miles across the border in the Mexican state of Coahuila. In May of 1873 a raid destroyed the Kickapoo villages, which forced them to move to a reservation in the United States, and led to a revision of Mexican border policies. After all of this has happened its clear to see that the Kickapoo people are always on the move and trying to find a new place to settle down and start over.
