The Kaw Nation also called the Kanza, American Indian Tribe, holds it's first official Pow Wow in 142 years on it's own land near Council Grove, Kansas. The Kaw Indians had claimed a territory that covered parts of Kansas, Nebraska, and Missouri but by the mid 19th century it was forced into what's now Oklahoma. The Tribe's legacy and culture in ingrained in Kansas history. The state took it's name from the Tribe, and a Kaw warrior stands atop the state capitol building in Topeka. An 1825 peace treaty with the Federal government reduced the Kanza lands from 20 million acres
