Basawunena Tribe
The Basawunena Indians, known as “wood-lodge men,” were once a distinct tribe that engaged in conflict with the Arapaho. Over the past 150 years, they have been incorporated into the Arapaho, with approximately 100 individuals still recognized in the northern group and a few in the southern group. For those interested in further ethnological study of the Basawunena, additional resources can be found in Mooney’s work from the 14th Report of the Bureau of American Ethnology published in 1896.
