“IOWAY” TRIBE: (Aiyuwæ, or Pähu’tchæ)
This is the cognomen of a small tribe of Indians, never very numerous,[46] known to the whites for the last one hundred and eighty years,[47] during which period they have been wanderers from the Mississippi to the Missouri, and from the Missouri to the Mississippi: their migrations being confined mainly to the limits of the present State of Iowa, which was therefore very properly named after them.[48] They are now located within a Reservation of land on the west bank of the Missouri, between the Great Nemahaw and Wolf Creeks, in the State of Nebraska, on the borders of Kansas and Iowa.[49]
