By the 1830s, the world of the native Kanza and Osage tribes changed.
The US government had a large problem. Native tribes in the East and Midwest had been defeated and pushed from their land
by incoming European settlers. The question was what to do with these
displaced Indians.
One idea was to create a Permanent Indian Frontier in what is now eastern
Kansas and Oklahoma. It was hoped that Indians located here would be undisturbed
by white settlers and the alcohol trade.

Large and small bands of Indians from the Great Lakes to Florida were removed to this
“Permanent Indian Frontier.”
The Cherokees called their brutal removal journey “The Trail of Tears,” since almost a
quarter of that tribe died on the way.
The Pottawatomies called it “The Trail of Death.”
