The Otoe were once part of the Siouan tribes of the Great Lakes region, commonly known as the Winnebago.
Here uou can read not only history - you can read story, position and years of this tribe:
By the spring of 1880, about half of the tribe had left the reservation and taken up residence with the Sac and fox tribe in Indian Territory.
The first land cession treaty between the Otoe-Missouria and the United States was in 1830. These were follows by more treaties in 1833, 1836, and 1854. The 1854 Treaty established a reservation on the Kansas-Nebraska border, near the Big Blue River.
Here in this link is really interesting information with wonderful story. Here is one of them:
Lizzie (Dailey) Harper: "In Nebraska, a lot of the people heard of allotment. They didn't want it. They wanted free range. Some of them wanted free range. Well anyway, they got it in their head that they were going to run away. They are the ones they called the Coyote Band. And my father's one of them. Several of those Eagles and different ones joined that band. They ran away from the Otoes up there and mingled all around down here. That's how they came to know the Sauk and Fox, the Wichita, the Cheyenne. Then they came back to the tribe after the Otoes settle down here. There was quite a talk on the allotment. White Turkey, he fought it."
More that only iboring information you can red here:
Eventually, the Otoe re-joined the Missouria, forming the present-day tribe of the Otoe-Missouria living near Red Rock, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, they were demorilized by alcohol, starved from lack of food, depleted by smallpox, and forced to move due to the white man's take-over. These were the main reasons for the Otoe re-joining the Missouria.
