you.' We thauk our great father; our hearts are good toward him; I will see him 

 before I lay down iu peace; may the Great Spirit be in his councils. What our 

 brother [Black Hawk] said to-day, let us forget. I am done." 



This speech shows that Pashepaho favored the peace policy of Keokuk. After this 

 event we have been able to learn but little of him that is authentic. He became in 

 his old age much given to intemperate habits, and it is quite likely he went down to 

 a drunkard's grave. When very old and feeble he migrated with his people to their 

 new reservation beyond the Missouri, and doubtless for many years his dust has 

 mingled with the soil of Kansas. — Red Men of Iowa, pages 248-252. 



12. I-o-"way, the loway ; one of Black Hawk's principal warriors ; his body curiously 



ornamented with his " war-paint." (No plate.) 1832. 



13. Pam-a-ho, the Swimmer; one of Black Hawk's warriors ; very distinguished. 



(No plate.) 

 Pam-a-h6, or Fast-Swimming Fish, is a short, thick-set, good-natured old brave, 

 who bears his misfortunes wi+.h a philosophy worthy of the ancients. — Drake's Book 

 of the Indians, book 4, page 164.

FOXES. 

 [On the Des Moines River; present number (in 1840), 1,500. Joined with the Sacs.] 



17. Aih-no-"wa, the Fire ; a doctor or " rnedicine man" ; one-half of his body painted 



red and the other yellow. 



18. Wee-sheet, the Sturgeon's head; one of Black Hawk's princii^al warriors; his 



body most singularly ornamented with his war paint. 

 This man held a spear in his hand, with which he assured me he killed four white 

 men during the war, though I have some doubts of the fact. Painted in 1833.

ALGONKIN— SACS AND FOXES. 



The Sacs and Foxes, who were once two separate tribes, but with a language very 

 similar, have, at some period not very remote, united into one, and are now an insep- 

 arable people, and go by the familiar appellation of the amalgam name of " Sacs and 

 Foxes." 



These people, as will be seen in their portraits, shave and ornament their heads 

 like the Osages and Pawnees, of whom I have spoken heretofore. — Page 210, Catlin's 

 Eight Years, 1834.
