A Wichita

Description

The Wichita belong to the Caddoan linguistic family and in the earliest historical times lived in the Arkansas valley in the present Kansas. Here they were visited by Coronado and his force of Spaniards in 1541, in a region known to them, through Indian informants, as the Province of Quivira. Then, as in later times, after moving southward, the Wichita lived in grass-houses.
