Jennings County is in the south-eastern part of the state, in the territory originally occupied by the Piankeshaw people, who were closely allied and related to the Miami and Wea. These tribes were forced to move westwards in the 1830s and 1840s, first into Kansas and then into Oklahoma.

What are some Anasazi traditions?
Quoted from my history book(assuming you are male):
"Before you leave your teens, a girl will sit in front of your door for four days grinding corn. If she grinds well, and pleases you and your parents, you will marry her. As a wedding gift you will weave yucca fibers into a pair of sandals and put them on her feet. Your parents will give the two of you a blanket of turkey feathers."
That's one.
Why weren't the women of Anasazi allowed into their kivas?
We don't know that. We have no information about who went in the kivas. In modern Pueblo kivas women are allowed as visitors but not to perfom. We knw the kachina religion started at the end of the Anasazi period but we don't know how they used the often much bigger kivas before that. The great kivas seem so lage that they must have had some whole cumminity function. hey also had rooms attached for living in that do not occur now.
The Anasazi Indians were known as the "ancient ones" by the people who came after them. They were also known for being "keepers of knowledge". They had a vast cultural and political setup that not many of their contemporaries had.
