The Black Hawk War

S1 E3: While an immense statue of Black Hawk overlooks the Mississippi River today near the homeland of the Sauk & Fox nations, his descendants were forced to move from their original lands to the Indian Territory of Oklahoma. As the Sauk of today relate, the violent conflict that finally erupted around Black Hawk in the spring of 1832 spelled the end of Sauk resistance & nearly decimated their people.
