The Wichita Kansas Intertribal Warrior Society stands as a collective of individuals, encompassing both Native and non-Native Americans, including veterans. Established with the explicit purpose of cultivating an enhanced appreciation and comprehension among non-Native communities, our society is dedicated to the educational upliftment of Native youth. Our primary focus lies in imparting values related to their customs, traditions, sacred ceremonies, and tribal dances.

 

Furthermore, we enthusiastically strive to nurture a sense of pride among the Native American populace residing in the Wichita area. Our commitment extends beyond cultural enrichment to encompass the general well-being of the Native community. We actively engage in initiatives aimed at promoting health and welfare, providing essential assistance to elders, and supporting the less fortunate within our community.

​

Financial assistance is facilitated through the disbursement of funds to individuals and families facing demands such as power bills, car repairs, and other family emergencies. Moreover, we extend financial support to students aspiring to elevate their circumstances through higher education, be it in college or technical fields. As an integral facet of our mission, we advocate for sobriety, addressing issues related to drug and alcohol addiction.

​

In addition to these efforts, our society undertakes humanitarian endeavors during the holiday season, distributing gifts of food to families in need. We also extend practical assistance, including labor, whenever possible.

​

Notably, our annual powwow in September and the Veteran's powwow in November serve as significant cultural events. We actively participate as color guard and head staff in other powwows upon request. Since our establishment in 1984, the Wichita Inter-Tribal Warrior Society has consistently proven itself as a strong and dependable community resource.

​

For those intrigued by the prospect of becoming a Warrior, we invite attendance at our bi-monthly meetings held on the first and third Wednesday of each month at the Cowtown Museum visitor center. Your participation would contribute to the continued growth and impact of our esteemed society.
