On this Indigenous People's Day, we invite you to explore the history and thriving current community of a local Tribal Nation, the Meskwaki Nation, also known as the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa. ().
The following is direct content from the official Meskwaki Nation website, meskwaki.org. We desire to share this with you- honoring a Tribal community in their own words.
"The Meskwaki people are of Algonquian origin from the Eastern Woodland Culture areas. The Meskwaki were called “Renards” (the Fox) by the French but have always identified themselves as “Meskwaki.” The Meskwaki fought against the French in what is now called the Fox Wars (1701-1742) and in 1735, the Sauk and Meskwaki allied together to fend off Europeans and other Indian Tribes."
"Through a series of land concessions in 1845, the Sauk and Meskwaki formally lost all lands and were removed to a reservation in Kansas. After their banishment to Kansas, Meskwaki ancestors longed to reclaim their Iowa woodland homeland. Some members stayed hidden in Iowa, while others left for the Kansas reservation only to journey back to Iowa over the next few years. Throughout, there was an unbroken presence in Iowa."
"In 1857, the Meskwaki formally purchased their first 80 acres in Tama County, which gave formal federal identity to the Meskwaki people as the “Sac & Fox in Iowa.” Because their ancestors had the tenacity and foresight to purchase their land, the Meskwaki Settlement is NOT an Indian Reservation. It was not set apart from the public domain and reserved for Indians. It is privately purchased property — a SOVEREIGN nation. Owing to the noble sacrifices and vision of their ancestors, the Meskwaki continue to thrive and grow on their purchased land."
