The Kichai tribe (also Keechi or Kitsai) was a Native American Southern Plains tribe that inhabited northeastern Texas.〔Sturtevant, 6〕 ==History== Their name for themselves was K'itaish, and they are most closely related to the Pawnee. French explorers encountered them on the Red River in Louisiana in 1701.〔(Kichai Indian History. ) ''Access Genealogy.'' (retrieved 6 Sept 2009)〕 The Kitsai were part of the complex, shifting political alliances of the South Plains. Early Europeans identified them as enemies of the Caddo.〔Sturtevant, 618〕 In 1712, they fought the Hainai along the Trinity River;〔 however, they were allied with other member tribe of the Caddoan Confederacy and intermarried with the Kadohadacho during this time.〔 By 1772, they primarily settled east of the Trinity River, near present day Palestine, Texas.〔Krieger, Margery H. (Kitchai Indians. ) ''The Handbook of Texas Online.'' (retrieved 6 Sept 2009)〕 On November 10, 1837, the Texas Rangers fought the Kitsai in the Battle of Stone Houses. The Kitsai were victorious, despite losing their leader in the first attack.〔Loftin, Jack O. (Stone Houses, Battle of. ) ''The Handbook of Texas Online.'' (retrieved 6 Sept 2009)〕 The Kitsai are not a distinct federally recognized tribe, but they are instead enrolled in the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and Wichita and Affiliated Tribes, to which they are related, as well as the Delaware Nation. These tribes live mostly in Southwestern Oklahoma, particularly in Caddo County, to which they were forcibly relocated by the United States Government in the 19th century. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kichai people」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
