    The Kansa Tribe lived along the Kansas and Saline rivers in central Kansas since the 17th century. They were more sedentary than nomadic, growing gardens and hunting buffalo, though they were semi-nomadic. The Kaws fought in the bloody Kansa-Pawnee war of 1840, killing over 70 people and capturing 11. Their traditions included the vision quest to connect to spirits through dreams, and they followed animism and lived in large earth lodges.
