Kickapoo people (Amerind tribe)
The Kickapoo (Kickapoo: Kiikaapoa or Kiikaapoi) are an Algonquian-speaking Native American tribe.
According to the Anishinaabeg, the name "Kickapoo" (Giiwigaabaw in the Anishinaabe language and its Kickapoo cognate Kiwikapawa) means "Stands here and there".
It referred to the tribe's migratory patterns.
The name can also mean "wanderer".
This interpretation is contested and generally believed to be a folk etymology.Today there are three federally recognized Kickapoo tribes in the United States: Kickapoo Tribe of Indians of the Kickapoo Reservation in Kansas, the Kickapoo Tribe of Oklahoma, and the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas.
The former two groups are politically associated with the Texas band.
Others live in small groups throughout the western United States.
Around 3,000 people claim to be tribal members.
There is also a small community in Douglas, Arizona.Another band resides in area of Múzquiz, in the Mexican state of Coahuila.
