Sauk First Nation

The Sauks or Sacs are a group of Native Americans whose occupied territory included parts of what is now Illinois and Iowa. Their refusal under their chief Black Hawk[?] in 1832 to accept the continued theft of native lands led to their reduction in importance at the military hands of General Edmund Gaines[?] in the Blackhawk War[?].
