Not many have heard of Etzanoa. Not yet that is. Researchers believe they have discovered the “great settlement,” described by the explorer Don Juan de Oñate. Etzanoa was said to stretch for 5 miles and house 20,000 ancestors of the Wichita tribe near the confluence of two rivers. In a study led by our guest today, Dr. Don Blakeslee, they confirmed that Etzanoa once straddled the banks of the Walnut River in modern Arkansas City, Kan. Findings suggest that the size of this settlement rivals that of Cahokia, a site considered to be the largest Native American settlements in the U.S. Get cozy and settle in while we hear about the details of this monumental discovery.
