Has anyone got any photos of the Kickapoo who lived around the Texas/Mexico border in the 1860s and 1870s? I've always been curious to see what they wore. Whether their dress owed much to Plains style or whether, by then, they were dressing more like whites of that period.

Thanks in advance.

Grahame,

photos of Kickapoos are rare, at least I have only found a few on the net.

Here is an old painting I found on the marvelous texasbeyondhistory.net site:

"Quicapú," or Kickapoo, by Lino Sanchez y Tapia, circa 1828

I am sure you already saw the SIRIS Kickapoo photos, this one seem to represent their clothing style in Indian Territory times:

by Rinehart 1898

Here is another one, it looks older, maybe from the 1870s/80s. Unfortunately I saved no more information:

That´s all I could offer
