Emigrant Tribes
By the 1830s, the world of the native Kanza and Osage tribes
changed.
Their land was no longer their own. Native groups all around the East and Midwest had been defeated and pushed from their
land by incoming European settlers. The question was what
to do with these eastern Indians.
An idea was to create a Permanent Indian Frontier in what is now eastern Kansas
and Oklahoma. It was hoped that Indians located here would
be undisturbed by white settlers and the alcohol trade.
But that didn’t happen.
Large and small bands of Indians from the Great Lakes to Florida were
removed to this Indian Territory. The Cherokees called their brutal removal journey “The Trail of Tears” and the
Pottawatomies called theirs “The Trail of Death.”
Several native groups were relocated to the area now known as Franklin
County: Ottawas, Chippewas, Munsees, Sac and Fox,
Pottawatomies, Shawnees, Peorias, Piankeshaws, Kaskaskias and Weas.
