Iowa ('sleepy ones' ). One of the south- 

 western Siouan tribes included by J. O. 

 Dorsey with the Oto and Missouri in his 

 Chiwere group. Traditional and linguis- 

 tic evidence proves that the Iowa sprang 

 from the Winnebago stem, which appears 

 to have been the mother stock of some 

 other of the southwestern Siouan tribes; 

 but the closest affinity of the Iowa is with 

 the Oto and Missouri, the difference in 

 language being merely dialectic. Iowa 

 chiefs informed Dorsey in 1883 that their 

 people and the Oto, Missouri, Omaha, 

 and Ponca "once formed part of the 

 Winnebago nation." According to the 

 traditions of these tribes, at an early pe- 

 riod they came with the Winnebago from 



their priscan home n. of the great lakes, 

 but that the Winnebago stopped on the 

 shore of a great lake (L. Michigan), at- 

 tracted by the abundant fish, while the 

 others continued southwestward to the 

 Mississippi. Here another band, the 

 Iowa, separated from the main group, 

 "and received the name of Pahoja, or 

 Gray Snow, which they still retain, but 

 are known to the white people by the 

 name of loways, or Aiaouez. The first 

 stopping place of the Iowa, after parting 

 from the Winnebago, as noted in the 

 tradition, appears to have been on Rock 

 r.. 111., near its jui ctiou with the Missis- 

 sippi. Another iradition places them 

 farther n. In 1848 a map was drawn by 

 a member of the tribe showing their 

 movements from the mouth of Rock r. to 

 the place where they were then living. 

 According to this their first move was to 

 the banks of Des Moines r., some distance 

 above its mouth; the second was to the 

 vicinity of the pipestone quarry in s. w. 

 Minnesota, although on the map it was 

 placed erroneously high up on the Mis- 

 souri; thence they descended to the 

 mouth of Platte r., and later moved suc- 

 cessively to the headwaters of Little 

 Platte r., Mo. ; to the w. bank of the Mis- 

 sissippi, slightly above the mouth of Des 

 Moines r., a short distance farther up on 

 the same side of the Mississippi; again 

 southwestwardly, stopping on Salt r., 

 thence going to its extreme headwaters; 

 to the upper part of Chariton r. ; to 

 Grand r. ; thenc&to Missouri r., opposite 

 Ft Leavenworth, where they lived at the 

 time the map was drawn. These succes- 

 sive movements, which are of compara- 

 tively recent date, are generally accepted 

 as substantially correct. The Sioux have 

 a tradition (Williamson in Minn. Hist. 

 Coll., I, 296) that when their ancestors 

 first came to the falls of St Anthony, the 

 Iowa o cupied the country about the 

 mouth of Minnesota r., while the Chey- 

 enne dwelt higher up on the same stream. 

 The Iowa appear to have been in the 

 vicinity of the mouth of Blue Earth r., 

 Minn., just before the arrival thereof Le 

 Sueur in 1701 for the purpose of erecting 

 his fort. His messengers, sent to invite 

 them to settle in the vicinity of the fort 

 because they were good farmers, found 

 that they had recently removed toward 

 Missouri r., near the Maha (Omaha), who 

 dwelt in that region. The Sioux informed 

 Le Sueur that Blue Earth r. belonged to 

 the Scioux of the West ( Dakota ) , the A ya- 

 vois (lowas), and Otoctatas (Oto), who 

 lived a little farther off. Father Marest 

 (La Harpe, Jour., 39, 1851) says that the 

 Iowa were about this date associated with 

 the Sioux in their war against the Sauk. 

 This does not accord with the general 

 tradition that the Dakota were always
