Read the supporting source ↗ - KitsaiSpecific Kichai descendant community and shared government connection
Connection & source
Specific Kichai descendant community and shared government connectionThe Tribe identifies Kichai descendants among its constituent peoples and explicitly places its community and government center at Anadarko, Oklahoma. Lesser and Weltfish’s original naming footnote identifies Kitsai as their spelling of Kichai. Together these support an Oklahoma connection with the alias explained. Inspection: Actual tribal page lines 30–35 and 44–46 inspected. Supporting 1932 Smithsonian PDF title and printed p.1 / PDF p.5, especially naming footnote, read as text/OCR. Limits: Kitsai/Kichai and Wichita remain distinct historical people/language names within a shared government setting. No language-loss statement is used to infer disappearance of descendants. The historical account is not treated as an audit of current government rules.
