Purchase of Property in Lawrence, KS

On July 10, 2013 The Delaware Tribe of Indians, through its wholly owned business subsidiary LTI Enterprises LLC, purchased approximately 87 acres of agricultural land in Lawrence, Kansas. The Delaware Tribe had a historic presence in the area, residing on a reservation between Lawrence and Leavenworth between 1830 and 1866. The federal government forced a move of the tribe to Oklahoma after the Civil War. The Lawrence property is seen as an investment in the future as the tribe promotes its theme of “Return to Kansas.”

The federally-recognized Indian tribe has offices in Bartlesville and Chelsea, Oklahoma and also Emporia and Caney, Kansas. They provide government and social services to their members and other Native Americans. Tribal leaders are expanding their service area to provide more social and economic benefits to the state’s American Indian population. Future plans include housing, child care, and a medical clinic.
