Kisatchieland

Who is Kisatchieland?


Hundreds of years ago the River People walked the banks of the creeks and rivers and hunted the deer in the forests until the Takers came. They took everything and either killed or exiled those who refused to assimilate. Today, the children of the Takers have formed a multigenerational way of life that involves seeing the world through a prism of red, and policies and opinions are still shaped by ghosts of defeat from the past. It is a place of beauty, but no progress.
