----------------------
Looking back into time...
==================
It is assumed that under the onslaught of the aggressive Iroquois tribe, the Sauk tribe moved from the St. Lawrence River region to the lands surrounding Saginaw Bay (Michigan (USA)).

By the time Europeans arrived, the Sauk migrated south to the territory of the modern American states of Wisconsin and Illinois.

They were closely related to the Fox tribe.

In the 18th century, the fox fought against the French and were almost completely destroyed. In the 18th century, the fox fought against the French and were almost completely destroyed (their number was reduced to 500 people).

The fox survivors found refuge with the Sauk tribe, who by that time lived near Green Bay (Wisconsin).

In 1734, the authorities of New France sent an expedition to the Sauk with a demand to extradite the Fox tribe.

The Sauk were turned down by the French and in the ensuing battle the French commander was killed.

Brother tribes - Sauk and Fox fled west from the Mississippi.

In 1736, the French sent another expedition to the Sauk and Fox, but it also did not bring results.

In the spring of 1737, at a council in Montreal, the Potawatomi and Ottawa asked the French not to persecute the Sauk tribe.

The Winnebago and the Menominee made a similar request for the Foxes.

Peace between the French and the Sauk was restored.

The Sauk did not take part in the Pontiac rebellion.

During the American Revolutionary War, they supported the British.

In 1780, the Sauk, Foxami, Winnebago, Menominee, Potawatomi, and Sioux tribes joined in the British efforts to recapture Illinois from the Americans and capture the Spanish Fort San Luis.

After the end of the American Revolutionary War, the Sauk tribe continued to trade with the British and lived along the Mississippi River in eastern Iowa and western Illinois.

In April 1832, the leader of the Sauk tribe, Black Hawk, with a promise of help from other tribes and British allies, led 1,500 of his warriors, including 500 warriors, from Iowa to Illinois, seeking to defend the lands of his people.

But he did not receive the promised support, only a few warriors of the Winnebago and Potawatomi tribes joined him.

This war was called the "Black Hawk War"

August 27, 1832 was forced to surrender to the American authorities.

In 1833 he was released and taken to Iowa, where he lived peacefully until his death in 1838.

Today, the Sauk, along with the Fox, live in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Iowa.

By the time of the first meeting with the French, the Sauk tribe numbered approximately 6,500 people.

The number of the Sauk tribe in 1783 was estimated at 2250 people.

In 1810 - 2850 people;

1834 - 2500 people;

1845 - 4600 people (2500 people in Iowa, 1900 people in Kansas, 200 people in Missouri);

1852 - 1300 people (after the smallpox epidemic);

1910 (together with the Fox tribe) - 1063 people.

In 2010, the population of the Sauk and Fox tribes was:
3,400 people - Oklahoma (mainly Sauk tribe), 1,300 people - Iowa (mainly Fox tribe), 400 people - Kansas and Nebraska (mainly Sauk tribe, Sauk & Fox reservation).

In total, the total number of both tribes in 2010 was about 5100 people.

THE SAUK TRIBE HAS COME A HUGE AND DIFFICULT WAY, SURVIVING AS A RESULT OF EPIDEMICS AND WARS, BUT HAS PRESERVED ITS ORIGINAL CULTURE.

NOW THE SAUK TRIBE IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF AMERICAN SOCIETY
