However, after the enactment of the Kickapoo Allotment Act in 1893 they lost much of their land. In 1883, they were assigned a reservation.

In 1873, a military scheme forced some of the Mexican Kickapoo to relocate to the Indian Territory. Many Kickapoo would eventually leave the Indian Territory during the Civil War and rejoin those in Mexico. Some settled on Wild Horse Creek in the Chickasaw Nation, and the others settled in Creek Nation near the confluence of the Canadian and Little rivers. Some Kickapoo decided to settle in two villages in Indian Territory. There, the Mexican government gave the tribe a land grant and eventually placed them at Nacimiento in exchange for protecting their northern borders. In 1839, they were forcibly removed, and many traveled to Mexico. However, after the Texas Revolution, the Republic of Texas did not want them. Spanish officials gave them land in Texas. The Prairie Kickapoo band resisted acculturation and continued to migrate, going first to Missouri and then to the Spanish province of Texas before the 1821 Mexican Revolution. By the mid-18th century the Kickapoo lived in two communities, the “Prairie Band,” along Illinois’s Sangamon River, and the “Vermillion Band,” east of the Wabash River in Indiana. They first came into contact with Europeans in the mid-seventeenth century in southwestern Wisconsin.

I was asked to resign via text message twice because my boss couldn’t legally fire me due to my medical issues - ADA, thank you very much - then once that was pointed out I was singled out about my items being left in the department - which was acceptable, I was the only one told get it out or it’s trash when I see it. The department I worked was interesting but given my medical issues I had to call out sometimes. My manager knew from day one that I had medical issues and was returning to work after major surgery, but yet didn’t care about my well being Both physical or mental. It’s sad that this company does this legally.
