Location of the Sac and Fox Tribe in Iowa
The Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa is one of three federally recognized Native American tribes of Sac and Meskwaki (Fox) peoples in the United States. The Fox call themselves Meskwaki and because they are the dominant people in this tribe, it is also simply called Meskwaki Nation (Meskwaki: Meshkwahkîhaki, meaning: "People of the red earth"), the Sauk people call themselves Êshkwîha (literally: "Fox people") or Yochikwîka, both with the meaning "Northern Sauk". They are Algonquian peoples, historically developed in the Eastern Woodland culture.[2] The settlement, called Meskwakiinaki, is located in Tama County, Iowa.
