Hard
Chief's Village - Silver Lake vicinity, Shawnee County Hard Chief's Village
(14SH301) is an archeological site that was the location of a Kansa Indian
village occupied from 1830 to 1844. The village was situated on a high ridge
overlooking the south side of the Kansas River valley and the west side of the
mouth of Mission Creek.
At the time of occupation, it contained at least 50-60 earthlodges
sheltering between 500 and 600 people. The surrounding uplands were covered
with prairie grasses, while the nearby river valleys were wooded. The
archeological site as it exists today is at the western edge of the Topeka
metropolitan area.
Agriculture has dominated the vicinity for decades, but residential
development is encroaching. The eastern third of the site has been heavily cultivated, while the
western portion is an overgrown pasture. Hard Chief's Village is significant
for its potential to yield significant information regarding Kansa tribal
movements, lifeways, and cultural change during the early 19th century in
eastern Kansas.
The site is particularly important,
as it is one of only two known surviving Kansa villages to have been
conclusively identified and confirmed by archaeological excavation.
