The Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas, located in Horton, has been residing in their current area since the 1832 Treaty of Castor Hill, where they settled near the Missouri River. With a history dating back to the 1854 Treaty, the tribe retains approximately 150,000 acres of land and is known for their gaming operations at the Golden Eagle Casino, which serves as a significant employer in Brown County. Driven by the goal of economic development, the Kickapoo Tribe focuses on meeting the needs of its community and maximizing its economic resources for the benefit of tribal members. However, the reservation faces challenges in terms of drinking water, as access to groundwater is blocked by a rock formation. To address this issue, the tribe operates a water plant that treats water from the Delaware River, but the aging infrastructure requires rebuilding due to recent damage caused by rainstorms.Generated from the website
