WICHITA TRIBE
1895 Maps of Indian Nations

Wichita tradition indicated that the tribe migrated southward from north and east.  In 1850, the Wichita had moved from near the Red River into Wichita Mountains region with their main villiage a short distance from what is now Fort Sill, Oklahoma.  In 1859, the Wichita moved to a permanent site south of the Canadian River near the present Caddo-Grady County line.  A reservation was established in 1872, consisting of 743,610 acres and known as the Wichita-Caddo Reservation.
