1. I enjoyed your comment. Thank you.
2. I noticed you said Black Hawk was an ancestor of yours. Mine too! Maybe we're related? I'm a part of the Ioway tribe and Sac and Fox tribe.

hi Tori, yep, I am an Ioway tribal member too, Lance Foster. I have Sac and Fox too (it's really the Sauk, because the Fox are the Meskawki and they are still in Iowa- the U.S. just treated the two tribes jointly in treaties). My Sauk lineage is through the Murphy family back to Eliza LeDuc who was of Black Hawk's family according to family stories, his niece.
