In her
presentation, Moriearty described the history and lifestyle of a
small band of Kickapoo Indians whose village was just outside the
city of Lincoln.
She explained how the tribe came to settle in this area and how they
fared in the turbulent confrontations of the incoming settlers in
the late 18th century, finally leaving the area in the 1820s.
There are only three Kickapoo Tribes left, one in Kansas, one in
Oklahoma and one in Texas.
The Logan County site where the Kickapoo village was located is at the off-ramp
of I–155 and I–55.
