That is his flag, the flag of the United States nation, which has bought this country.
Tom FreyaNARRATOR
The new father has sent us, who are his children, to tell his red children that he wants them to be at peace with one another.
Tom FreyaNARRATOR
I have given the flags and peace gifts to the Otos and the Missouris, and have sent word to the Osages and the Omahas and the Pawnees and the Kickapoos and other Indians that there must be no more wars among the red children.
Tom FreyaNARRATOR
I will give you a flag and gifts, too, so that you will remember what I say.

Sometimes a listener writes a book and gets in touch asking if they could be a guest on the show.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
How happy I am now in my old age that I am a native Texan and saw the grand frontier before it was marred by the hand of man.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
The Lipans, Kickapoos, Comanches, and Kiowa Indians used to time their raids so as to reach the Texas settlements during the light of the moon so they would have moonlight nights in which to steal horses and make their getaway before they could be discovered.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
By morning when their thefts became known they would have a long lead ahead and be well out on their way into the plains and mountains.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
The captains of the Rangers’ companies knew of this Indian habit and accordingly kept scouts constantly in the field during the period of the raids.

P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
During the summer of 1876, Major Jones planned a big scout out on the Pecos to strike the Lipans and Kickapoos a blow before they began raiding the white settlements.
P. K. SolocoNARRATOR
This scout started from Company D in July.

Amy Paige CondonHOST
Crystal Wahpepah is a registered member of the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, but she spent most of her childhood in Oakland, California, amid the largest urban indigenous community in the United States.
Amy Paige CondonHOST
Oakland is home to more than 200 different tribes as a result of US policy during the 1950s, which relocated largely Southern and Western tribal members to cities, not with a lot of support.
Amy Paige CondonHOST
There, the American Indian movement took shape, and she is descended from some of the fiercest activists who fought for civil rights, including the right to practice religious traditions, speak tribal languages, and the rematriation of tribal lands.

Crystal WahpepahGUEST
Yes.
Chuck MertzHOST

May twenty second, in camp on Goodman's River, the party made its first trade with Indians.
Roger MelinNARRATOR
Some Kickapoos were engaged to procure provisions.

May twenty-fifth, stopped for the night at the entrance of a creek on the north side, called by the French La Charette, ten miles from our last camp, and a little above a small village of the same name.
Victoria ContrerasGUEST
So his records from that event, as well as how he worked with the families after that had a huge impact and led into a little bit of, or fed into the Canales investigation and a lot of that kind of movement towards not restitution or healing necessarily, but a sense of accountability and a sense of improvement in relations for the area and for the state as a whole.
Victoria ContrerasGUEST
So, and in terms of that aspect, he had a profound impact, but also the fact that he did take both historical records and historical accounts from the indigenous communities themselves, not as a kind of voyeuristic interpretation or from a second hand account, but very much focused on trying to get their perspective of things from various communities, including the Chickasaw, the Creek, the Kickapoo, and brought that with him everywhere he went and tried to relay that as well throughout his career.
Victoria ContrerasGUEST
So that's one of, if not my favorite, one of my favorite collections within our repository.
