Council Grove, Kansas 6-20-2015 The Kaw Nation, also called the Kanza, American Indian tribe holds its first offical powow in 142 years on its 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. ÊThe tribe's legacy and culture is ingrained in Kansas history. The state took its name from the tribe, and a Kaw warrior stands atop the dome of the state Capitol. An 1825 peace treaty with the federal government reduced the Kanza lands from 20 million acres to 2 million acres just west of Topeka. An 1846 treaty again reduced the tribe's land from 2 million acres to 256,000 acres near Council Grove. The Kaw lived in three villages from 1848 until their forced removal south to Indian Territory in 1873. When the Kaw were forced from Kansas in 1873 it had fewer than 500 numbers. Its numbers declined to fewer than 200 by 1902. Credit: Mark Reinstein
