		To a large degree the persistence of Kickapoo cultural forms is related to the continuing importance of the extended family as the basic unit of society.

		KICKAPOO RESERVATION -- Back in 1998, Rep. Jim Ryun helped secure congressional approval of a federal water-enhancement plan, known as the Upper Delaware and Tributaries Watershed Project, that encompassed 180,000 acres in northeast Kansas.
		Ryun also pointed out that the Kickapoo reservation, about 40 miles north of Topeka, would benefit from one of the 20 new water-impoundment reservoirs to be built throughout the watershed, ending decades of concern on the reservation about chronic low-water flows on the Delaware River, the tribe's water source.
