As
settlers moved westward, the United States government displaced Native
Americans from their homelands through warfare and land cession treaties.
This map notes the 1833 location of several tribes who lost their
land. The Sauk (Sacs) and Fox people lived along the Rock River in
Illinois and the Wisconsin River, but they were permanently removed
to lands west of the Mississippi River after their defeat in the Black
Hawk War of 1832.
