After a bitter war with the Iroquois, the Wyandot Tribe settled about 1700 in northern Ohio. In 1843, under United States government authority, the tribe removed to northeastern Kansas. Local friction caused some Wyandot, in 1857, to leave Kansas and go to what is now northeastern Oklahoma. A treaty with the United States, made in 1867, enabled the remainder of the Wyandot to join their kinsmen in Oklahoma, where their tribal government was reorganized in 1871.
