An Algon- quian tribe, so named, according to Fox tradition recorded by Dr William Jones, l)ecause once while some Wagohiig', members of the Fox clan, were hunting, they met the French, Avho asked who they were; the Indians gave the name of their clan, and ever since the whole tribe has 1)een known by the name of the Fox clan. Their own name for themselves, according to the same authority, is M^sh- kwakihiig", 'red-earth people,' because of the kind of earth from which they are supposed to have been created. They were known to the Chippewa and other Algonquian trilies as Utiigamig, ' people of the other shore'. When they first became known to the whites, the Foxes lived in the vicinity of L. Winnebago or along Fox r., Wis. Ver- wyst (Missionary Labors, 178, 1886) says they were on Wolf r. when Allouez visited them in 1670. As the tribe was inti- mately related to the Sauk, and the two were probably branches of one original stem, it is probable that the early migra- tions of the former corresponded some- what closely with those of the latter. The Sauk came to Wisconsin through the lower Michigan peninsula, their tra- ditional home having been n. of the lakes, and were comparatively new- comers in Wisconsin when thej^ first became known to the French. One of their important villages was for some time on Fox r. The conclusion of Warren (Hist. Ojibways, 95, 1885) that the Foxes

Text Appearing After Image: FOX CHIEF early occupied the country along the s. shore of L. Superior and that the incom- ing Chippewa drove them out, has the general support of Fox tradition. Nev- ertheless there is no satisfactory histor- ical evidence that the Foxes ever re- sided farther n. than Fox r. in Wis- consin, and in none of their treaties with the United States have they claimed land n. of Sauk co. This restless and warlike people was the only Algon- quian tribe against whom the French waged war. In addition to their dispo- sition to be constantly at strife with their
