Standing (on) Her Ground: Native American Women & Land Claims in Eastern Iowa Online
Many Quad Citians who are aware of the Black Hawk War of 1832 may assume that the Sauk and Meskwaki people were forced far to the West after the war. While these tribal nations did sustain massive land losses after the war, Native people remained in the area for years, and of these, a significant number--many of them women--pursued land claims as individuals. Looking closely at the documentary evidence of these claims reveals how both white men and Native women negotiated the meanings of land and of Native American identity into the 1840s.
