Billy Friend, Chief of the Wyandotte Nation, talks about “The History of the Wyandotte Nation: in Kansas and their Park City connection” during a presentation to the Wichita Pachyderm Club on November 20, 2020. Friend gave a brief overview of his people’s movement from what is now the Detroit area through Ohio and Kansas into their current home in Northeast Oklahoma as various treaties and land grants were signed and broken by the U.S. government. The Wyandotte and other tribes have made great strides in restoring independence through self government in recent years.
