Kickapoo Nation Was Scattered and Driven South from Michigan to Mexico
Not long after Europeans came to North America, Native American tribes from the East began moving west toward the Great Lakes. Around the mid-17th century, a number of the more westerly tribes or nations, including the Kickapoo Nation, were forced west and south because of incursions first by other native tribes who were pushed west by Europeans, and then by Europeans themselves. Some Kickapoo people ended up far to the south in Mexico, and their descendants still live there.

In economics one hears talk of “the curse of oil” – and one might say wherever there is buried treasure there will be a curse, hyper-real or real.
