Meskwakiinaki,[3] also called the Meskwaki Settlement, is an unincorporated community in Tama County, Iowa, United States, west of Tama.[4] It encompasses the lands of the Meskwaki Nation (federally recognized as the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa), one of three Sac and Fox tribes in the United States. The others are located in Oklahoma and Kansas. The settlement is located in the historic territory of the Meskwaki (Fox), an Algonquian people.
