The Wichita tribe is a Native American tribe that has been living in what is now known as the southern Great Plains region for thousands of years. The exact age of the tribe is difficult to determine as it has a long and complex history, and there is no definitive answer to this question. Archaeological evidence suggests that Wichita people have inhabited the Great Plains region for at least 2,000 years, but oral traditions passed down through generations suggest that they have lived in the area for even longer.

The tribe has experienced many changes throughout its history, including conflicts with other tribes and European settlers, forced relocation, and changes in culture and identity. Despite these challenges, the Wichita people continue to maintain their cultural traditions and way of life to this day.
