Excerpt from North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, p. 16: The Iowas are now an almost extinct tribe. They belong to the Sioux family and probably sprang from the Winnebago linguistic branch of that family. They are closely related to the Otos, Missouris, and Poncas. All seem to have come from their ancient home north of the Great Lakes. The Iowas experienced many vicissitudes and wandered far afield, for they are reported in different localities by Father Andre in 1676, La Salle in 1682, Lewis and Clark in 1804, and others. Father Andre says that they were very poor, their greatest wealth consisting of "ox hides and red calumets". Their traditions place them for a time near the Red stone quarries in Minnesota, and they appear to have manufactured and traded peace pipes early. Le Sueur invited the neighbouring Iowas to settle around Fort l'Huillier when he built it, in 1701, in Minnesota because they were industrious and accustomed to cultivate the earthy. They also trapped and supplied the traders with skins of bear, deer, beaver, racoon and otter. In 1824, they ceded their lands on the Missouri and later moved to Kansas, eventually settling on a reservation in Oklahoma. In religion, habits and customs, they differ little from the other Winnebago tribes. Like other Plains Indians who had built no immunity against it, they suffered heavy losses from smallpox brought into the country by the Whites. The Iowa costume illustrated here is made up of various elements of Indian and white origin. Indian chiefs took great pride in the large coins and medals presented them by white officials and they wore them as ornaments and as badges of honor.

Map references: Washington (D.C.) Text references: North American Indian Costumes, Vol. 1, pp. 9, 16. References: This print is based on a portrait of Keokuk and his son painted by Charles Bird King (1785-1862) in Washington (D.C.) in 1827. Keokuk was a Sauk (Osakiwug). Lithographs based on the King portrait of Keokuk and his son (Cosentino: 353) appear in the following editions of McKenney, Thomas Loraine, 1785-1859, and Hall, James, 1793-1868. The History of the Indian Tribes of North America: Philadelphia: F. W. Greenough, 1838-1844. Philadelphia: J. T. Bowen, 1848-1850. James Otto Lewis (1799-1858) painted a full-length portrait of Keokuk at the Treaty of Prairie du Chien, held at Prairie du Chien (Wis.) in 1825 (Lewis, 1850, p. 8). A full-length portrait of Keokuk by Inman after Lewis, formerly in the Peabody Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, Harvard University, (Peabody No. 82-51-10\28287) is listed in the D. Harold Byrd, Jr. Collection in 1983 (Viola, 1983, Plate 32). George Catlin (1796-1872) painted portraits of Keokuk at the Sauk and Fox Village (Iowa) in 1835 (Truettner Gallery No. 1) (Truettner, 1979, pp. 31, 34, 142-143). Peter Rindisbacher (1806-1834) painted a watercolor portrait of Keokuk in 1829 which is in the collection of the West Point Museum (Acc. No.: 552). Thomas Martin Easterly (1809-1882) made Daguerreotype portraits of Keokuk in 1847. These images are in the Missouri Historical Society, Newberry Library, and Smithsonian Institution (Kilgo, 1994, pp. 119-141). For Daguerreotype portraits of Keokuk and his son by Thomas Easterly, see Kilgo, 1994, pp. 119, 126, 127.
