Title
The
Kickapoos
and the
Sac
and
Fox
:
working
together
for
sovereignty
.
Degree Program
History
Abstract
The
Sac
and
Fox
and the
Kickapoo
nations
,
both
residing
in
Kansas
,
proposed
a
generous
casino
plan
involving
profit
sharing
for
both
the
State
of
Kansas
and
Wyandotte
County
, to
Kansas
Governor
Kathleen
Sebelius
in
2003
. The
Sac
and
Pox
nation
own
the
Sac
and
Fox
Casino
in
Powhattan
,
Kansas
,
while
the
Kickapoo
nation
operates
the
Golden
Cloud
Casino
in
Horton
,
Kansas
.
Despite
both
tribes
experiencing
success
with their
respective
operations
, they
long
for the
increased
revenue
that a
casino
in
Wyandotte
County
,
Kansas
promises
.
Indian
gaming
has
grown
in the
United
State
out
of a
need
for
Indian
tribes
to
raise
money
for
tribal
betterment
. The
profits
tribes
earn
from
casino
gaming
pay
for
social
programs
and
infrastructure
improvements
on
reservations
,
thus
providing
an
increased
level
of
sovereignty
to
each
tribe
.
Sovereignty
is
the
power
of
decision-making
that has been
reduced
and in
some
cases
eliminated
by the
federal
government
and the
states
for
centuries
. The
Sac
and
Fox
and the
Kickapoo
nations
,
currently
awaiting
the
decision
about
the
future
of their
proposed
joint
casino
from
Kansas's
legislature
, have
joined
forces
before
. They were
part
of
Tecumseh's
pan-Indian
confederacy
, they
helped
the
British
during
the
War
of
1812
to
thwart
American
expansion
in the
Old
Northwest
, and they
followed
Black
Hawk
during
his
war
against
federal
oppression
.
Ultimately
, as the
Kansas
experience
of the
Kickapoos
and
Sac
and
Fox
illustrates
, these
tribes
will not
regain
the
sovereignty
they
deserve
without
state
cooperation
and
federal
. The
tribes
'
cooperation
in the
casino
ventures
demonstrates
a
continued
desire
on the
part
of
members
of
both
tribes
to
protect
tribal
sovereignty
at
all
costs
.
