Iowa tribe
From Wacklepedia - The Free Encyclopedia
The
Iowa tribe are a
tribe of
Native Americans. Together with the
Missouri, the Omaha, the Oto and the Ponca they were once part of the Winnebago. Their estimated population of 1100 (in 1760) dropped to 800 (in 1804), mainly due to
smallpox. In 1824, the Iowa were moved to a
reservation in
Kansas. Today, some of them also live in
Oklahoma. As of 1990, their population is ~1500.
