Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kansa, or Kaw Indians, and Their History, and the Story of Padilla To us the most interesting feature of this early expedition is that it came in contact with the Kansa Indians. What an awe-inspiring sight this spectacular pageant must have been to them. As it moved across their favorite hunting-grounds! What a scene of thrilling beauty greeted these adventurers, as they passed over these limit less plains and along the margins of the wooded streams on that memorable trip 300 years ago! While there is some doubt as to the exact location of Quivira - whether it was in the Kaw valley or on the Missouri - in either event it must have been in the region of the hunting-grounds and habitat of the Kansa nation, when first visited a hundred years later by French explorers.
