The Wichita Tribe
The group I’m researching is the Wichita tribe that were part of the Plain Indians. The Wichita Indians originated in southern Oklahoma and northern Texas, but after the Europeans arrived to America, this forced them to move further north into Kansas, where the city of Wichita is named after them. However nowadays you can find the few Wichita people left living in Oklahoma. Now let's talk a little more about their way of life
The Wichita children were just like normal children. They play with each other, go to school, and help around the house. Many young Wichita boys like to go fishing and hunting with their father. The father was earlier a hunter fisherman or went to war. The female children normally stayed home and helped around the house. When the children were very young or babies they spent all of their time close to their mother. The mother would go through her work and chores carrying the baby on her back in a cradleboard. The mother was generally the caretaker for the children. Both genders also took part in storytelling, artwork, music, and traditional medicine.

Then the Man and woman went around the villages teaching the others about what had happened to them along with skills they have
