That is probably the Kickapoo, who have been in negotiations in the past to move into the US. That is one of the nations that became divided after the Mexican-American War. Nobody seems to know what happened to the Cherokee (and I guess from some data I read on the web last night also some Choctaw) who had moved into Mexico about 1832 prior to that war. There are colonies in north Texas, but some went into the state of Cohuila, which is a barren desert with very few inhabitants. To my knowledge no one has gone down there to see if any of the current inhabitants are decendents or not. A pueblo friend of mine made a trip to southern Mexico and visited with descendents of Acoma Pueblo who had been taken there as slaves by Oñate's men. They still had remnants of their original language after 350? years. The border has cut off many groups from each other, especially in the SW, making it difficult for these groups to maintain certain ceremonies because they are no longer being allowed to travel freely across the borders. The consequences of war are unfortunately always sad, in my opinion.

Regarding this, it is good to remember that Texas was part of Mexico until 1836, then a private republic for a few years until admitted to the Union. Also, it's territory was larger than present day Texas, as was the Arkansas Territory that our ancestors were removed to. It wasn't Oklahoma until after 1900. ----- Original Message ----- From: george ann gregory To: CHOCTAW-SOUTHEAST-L@rootsweb.com Sent: Sunday, August 11, 2002 7:25 AM Subject: Re: [CHOCTAW-SE] Choctaw removals That is probably the Kickapoo, who have been in negotiations in the past to move into the US.
