Sac and Fox Tribe
The Sac and Fox Tribe is a Native American group originally from the Great Lakes region, particularly around present-day Wisconsin and Illinois. They are composed of two distinct tribes: the Sauk and the Fox. Historically, they were known for their agricultural practices, hunting, and fishing, as well as their rich cultural traditions.
In the 19th century, the tribe faced significant challenges due to westward expansion and forced relocations. Today, the Sac and Fox Tribe is recognized as a sovereign nation, with a government and community programs aimed at preserving their heritage and supporting their members in areas like education and health.
