Indigenous to Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, the four Wichita tribes are federally recognized with the Kichai people as the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes (Wichita, Keechi, Waco, and Tawakoni). Its history has been one of endurance and survival despite overwhelming adversity.
The ancestors of the historic Wichita and Affiliated tribes were probably the first people to settle upon the Southern Plains. From south-central Kansas to northern Texas, they lived in villages of grass lodges, raised bountiful crops of corn, squash, and beans, conducting fall and winter buffalo hunts, and carrying on extensive trade with the Pueblos of the Southwest. First contact with Europeans came with Coronado’s 1541 quest to find the fabled Quivera, thought to be present in Kansas.
Welcome to the Quivera Tribal Enterprises’ website! Throughout history, despite overwhelming adversity, we have been a people of endurance and survival. Ever adapting, Quivera has been hard at work setting the groundwork for a future full of unlimited opportunities for our people to dream, grow, and thrive!
Beginning with our logo, we embody our Wichita culture–highlighted with the frame of a traditional Wichita grass house under seven stars, representing economic prosperity for the future of Wichita and Affiliated Tribes. The same thoughtful consideration was given to the structure of our organization–offering innovative solutions to our customers and investing in and for our people.
Under the leadership of Quivera, we will continue to add subsidiaries for the investment of the Wichita people.
We look forward to serving you while bringing economic prosperity to the Wichita people!
