EspañolSAC AND FOX NATION
(Redirected from Sauk and Fox)
The 'Sac and Fox Nation' is the modern political entity encompassing the historical Sac and Fox nations of Native Americans. The tribes were always closely allied and speak very similar Algonquian languages, sometimes considered two dialects, instead of two languages. The Sac call themselves 'Asakiwaki' (or 'Osakiwug') which means "people of the yellow earth" while the Fox call themselves 'Meshkwahkihawi' meaning "people of the red earth".
The tribe has multiple separate groups and reservations. The main group, the 'Sac and Fox of the Mississippi in Oklahoma' moved to near Stroud, Oklahoma in 1869 where they have about 2500 members and an 800 acre (3.2 km²) reservation.
A smaller group (called the 'Sac and Fox of the Mississippi in Iowa' or the 'Meskwaki') returned to their Iowa lands where they now have about 700 members and 4,165 acres (16.854 km² / 6.507 sq mi) in Tama County, Iowa near the city of Tama. There was a resident population of 761 persons on the 'Sac and Fox/Meskwaki Indian Reservation' at the 2000 census.
The 'Sac and Fox Tribe of Missouri' separated from the main band in the 1830's and has 360 members and a 61.226 km² (23.639 sq mi) tract in southeastern Richardson County, Nebraska and northeastern Brown County, Kansas, near Falls City, Nebraska. The 'Sac and Fox Indian Reservation' had a resident population of 217 persons at the 2000 census.
Jim Thorpe, the famous athlete, was a member of this tribe.
