Native American Tribes series.Iowa or Ioway
Iowa, or Ayuwha, was a term borrowed by the French from the Dakotas that signifies "Sleepy-ones." The Iowa people are of Sioux stock and closely related to the Otoe and Missouri. They moved about a great deal, mostly in the states of Iowa and Minnesota. Through various treaties with the U.S. Government they lost their lands in Minnesotaq, Iowa and Missouri. The Ioway practiced farming and lived in villages; however, bands that lived farther west adopted more of the customs of the plains Indians.In 1836, another treaty assigned part of them a reservation along the Great Nemaha River in present Brown County, Kansas and Richardson County, Nebraska.
