<p>Kansas has an extensive history with various Native tribes. For example, some of the tribes that occupied this land included the Kansa, Comanche, Pawnee, Osage, Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Wichita. However, numerous emigrant tribes were forced from their ancestral land into Kansas via the Indian Removal Act in the 1800s. The original tribes in the state were more nomadic than tribes in different areas, traveling to various locations to hunt bison and other wildlife. Today, Kansas is home to four federally recognized tribes, the Iowa Tribe of Kansas and Nebraska, Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, and the Sac & Fox Nation of Missouri in Kansas and Nebraska. </p>
