Abstract
This paper traces the movements and population losses of the five main Wichita groups—Kichais, Tawakonis, Iscanis, Guichitas, and Taovayas—from 1719 when they first encountered Frenchmen to 1901 when the tribe was forced to give up reservation life. During this period the Wichita population dropped from about 200,000 people to only about 1,000 and the various groups moved in a huge semicircle from the present boundary of Kansas and Oklahoma south to central Texas and then ultimately northwest to southwestern Oklahoma.
