In the record
The United States made 2 treaties and agreements that name Wichita as a party, from Treaty of Camp Holmes with the Comanche, Wichita and others, 1835 to Comanche, Aionai (Hainai), Anadarko, Caddo, Lipan, Longwha (Tonkawa), Keechy (Kichai), Tahwacarro (Tawakoni), Wichita, and Waco at Council Springs, Robinson County, Texas, near the Brazos River (1846).
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 1 cession of land from Wichita. It came through means the record does not state.
Today, Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco, & Tawakonie), Oklahoma carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
