The Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas, based in Eagle Pass, is a federally recognized tribe of Kickapoo people. It uses revenue from its gaming and business operations to provide housing, education, and social services to its members. The tribe has been held as a model for other Native American tribes seeking to lift their members out of poverty, because they were living under the international bridge over the Rio Grande as recently as the 1980s.
They are one of three federally recognized tribes in Texas.
