Washunga, the Kaw Nation home in Oklahoma, which was promised to the Kaw in perpetuity, or for all time, was seized by the U.S. government via eminent domain. In yet another forced removal, the Kaw were compelled to leave the old town of Washunga, including the Kaw Tribal Council House and cemetery. This land was subsequently flooded by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers to create Kaw Lake, a reservoir and recreation area. While the U.S. government had promised the Kaw Nation that they would appropriately move human remains from cemeteries, this was later found to be false, amounting to grave desecration (kawnation.gov).
