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.
