Spring Return to Saukenuk k k<br />

Each April, the Sauk<br />

and Mesquakie would<br />

return from their<br />

winter hunt west of<br />

the Mississippi, and<br />

maple their sugar<br />

camps, and gathered<br />

at Saukenuk. With a<br />

population of over<br />

6,000, this made<br />

Saukenuk the largest<br />

settlement, native or<br />

white, in the Upper<br />

Mississippi Valley.
