Post-event follow-up: Watch a video of the Feb 6 event

Meskwaki are the only tribal nation which currently resides in what we now call Iowa. They trace their origins far to the east in present-day Quebec. Over the centuries, they moved westward and entered the Iowa/Illinois region in the 17th century. Based on archaeological research, ethnographic studies, and research by Meskwaki historians, this program presents what we know about the history of the Meskwaki migration, Meskwaki traditional lifestyle, and the Meskwaki in Iowa today.
