THE GROUND-HOUSE INDIANS AND STONE-CIST GRAVE BUILDERS OF KANSAS AND NEBRASKA

[Note: this pre-1923 publication has been converted from original format and may contain an occasional defect from the conversion process or original source.]

NORTHEASTERN KANSAS and southeastern Nebraska were in-
habited by "Ground-house" Indians long before Coronado, Onate
and the Siouxan tribes of Indians set foot on Quiviran soil.

These Ground-house Indians were mound builders, buried their dead
in different types of stone graves, and made three different types of pot-
tery. It is not the purpose of the present paper to quote history, but to give
a descriptive record of archaeological remains left by the people who in-
habited Kansas before historic time and to record some Indian tradi-
tions which may help to identify the people who left those remains.
