- Description
- Before southern Oklahoma became home to various Indian Tribes, they used to be nomadic and follow herds of buffalos across the plains of Anadarko. Tonkawa Hill located in Anadarko preserved the Native American customs and heritage of the Kiowa, Shawnee, Wichita, Apache, Oto, and Comanche descendants. There is an outdoor museum that showcases how seven different tribes lived during the 18th and 19th centuries. The museum stands on the ground that used to be the Kiowa-Comanche-Apache Reservation and was also the site of the 1862 Tonkawa Massacre.
