Sauk (Or Sac) Indians
Sauk (Or Sac) Indians, Algonquian tribe related to the Fox Indians of the Great Lakes region, inhabited the Rock River country of Illinois, and the adjacent region in Wisconsin, Iowa, and Missouri. They were united with the Fox after 1730, aided the British in the War of 1812, and in 1832 participated in the Black Hawk War. They figure in historical studies of these battles, Jonathan Carver's Travels, W.J. Snelling's Tales of the Northwest, and fiction by August Derleth.
