Black Hawk, the Warrior Some time during the early part of the last century, probably, a wandering tribe of Indians of whom history is silent left the bleak shores of the upper St. Lawrence for"a more congenial climate. The sources from which the first part of this sketch as taken are chiefly legendary; but such as they are, it is given as it was taken from the lips of one who is characterised 'by the editor of a small volume called "The Auto- biography of "Black Hawk" as a warrior, a patriot, and subsequently a prisoner—Ma-ka- tai-me-she-kia-kiak, or Black Hawk. Toward the latter part ot his life this hero of many battles, when old, poor, and obscure, became desirious of giving his story to hie white friends, "that the people of the United Stages might know the cause which impelled him tr act as ihe had done, and the principles by which he was governed." This was faithfully trans. lated by Antoine Le Claire, a half-breed <>f Ifrendh and Indian parentage, whose desc*o- idattts l>ive in Davenport, la. It must be remembered that, although Blaek Ha,wk's story is intermingled with legends, it is probably true as regards the emigration of the tribes—the Sacs, as they were called- from place to place to their final destination, the -iocik iriv<er country, in Illinois. The tr ..clition of the causes which led to this great kistorY was handed down to as conuing from his fieai- tface^"I«riaXa"Ina"i:ee—Wl,°' by blaokeni,ng his face, asking oad, invocation to the Great Spirit, apl*1'6d to the chief in dreams, telling him to tawt one year more, and then to taJk* kit brother chieftains and travel to the left of the sun rising till -they could hiear certain sounds, when they would meet e white man who would be a father to this people. The sounds were heard and the white man appeared. He aimaunoed himself to be the son of the King of France, and said that he also had fasted four years; that the Great Spirit had vizited him in dreams, telling him he would meet his children, the Indfian. and their chief. They returaed to their nation. The old chief, when he learned of their meetmg the white main, presented the great medicine bag to his son, Nana-ma-kee, saying it was the soul of tiheir nation, that it never had been disgraced, and he hoped it never would be Nana-ma-kee wau a young man, and there were i Bonie dissensions among the people on account of so much power being given to one so young, but when the "talk" was at its height & violent thunderstorm appeared and the lightning struck a tree, setting fire to it. Young Naoa- ma-kee seized a burning branoh, made a fire in the lodge, seated the people around it, who were aiwediby what seemed to be a miracle, and addressed them:- "I am young, but the Great Spirit has called me to take the rank I hold. While my father. the chief, lived I had no wish to take his place. You have seen the power given by tihe Great Spirit in causing that fire. I wish that the chiefs, my brothers, may never let it go out." All were satisfied when they heard end saw that tit* Grea.t Spirit bad spoken and confirmed his words by the burning tree. In the legend of the buming tree one is re- minded of the burning bush oat of which God spake to Moses regarding the children of Israel. In all accounts of the religion of the Indians, thwre is mo record where they are represented -?- as worshipping the Great Spirit in any material form of wood or stone. The Great Spirit war: immortal and invisible. After a tong absence the French Father re- turned, and a trade was kept. up for some time with the tribe, exchanging various commodities for their furs and other articles. The British, who were then at war with the French, at last overpowered them and gainer1 possession of Quebec. Some of the different tribes joined In the war, and after- words united their forces agaiinst the Sacs and drove them to Montreal, and thence to Mackinaa They met the British Father, M Black Hawk calls him, who helped them and furnished them with goods. They were troubled there with their enemies, who drove them from place to place, till they reached Green Bay, or what is now called Sauk River. There they held council with the tribe or nation of Foxes, who aba.ndo.iied their villages and joined the Sacs. A party of young men had been on an expedition southward, as far as Rock. Ri-ver, said the young braves returned to Green Bay full of the great news of the beauti- ful region they had just left; and soon after the tribes were en route for the promised land. They were joined by the Foxes, and from that time the history of the two tribes seems to be closely entwined. For more than 100 years they held undis- puted possession of the Mississippi valley, from the Ouasconsin to the Portage des Sioux, near the mouth of the Missouri, about 700 miles in length. At that time they had little inter- course with the traders who came to their Tillage4 for their pedtries. At that time in- toxicatinig liquors were unknown among them, although afterward introduced by the traders. Black Hawk was bittegrl- mootied to this, atod ?-?-- -? sometimes, as said by an eye-witness, drove in the kegs of whisky, or rum, which were furnished them by traders." They held their lands by their prowess as warrior*. In 1804 an event occurred which gave rise to all their troubles with the whites. One of their number had killed an Ameri can, for which he was imprisoned. Four or fiv& Indians went down to St. Louis, where he was con- fined, to secure his raleaee and his re- turn to his family by offering a eompen- sution for the lifo of the murdered man, according to the Indian custom. General William Clarke, the companion of Lewis, at that time was the general superintendent of Western Indians and their affairs. The Government, through Clarke, refused the com- pensation, but demanded lands. Black Hawk and the other Indians, who were informed of the circumstances, were bitterly opposed to parting with their lands, as these men had no authority for this, but went simply to rescue the prisoner. It is said the men were made drunk, and while in that condition the sale of the lands was consummated; the prisoners was set at liberty, but as he was running from the gaol he was shot dead by one of the men on guard. All their lands on the east side of the Mississippi river were sold, Black Hawk say.?, for l,000doJs. a year; other accounts say 2,000dolls. Judge Spencer, in his "Remi- niscences," says the latter. He was one of the old sobtaen of Rook Island. He speaks of Black Hawk as an honourable and just man. Black Hawk sa.ys:- "I leave it to,the people of the United States to say whether our nation was properly f represented in that treaty, or whether we received just compensation for the extent of country ceded by these four individuals." A clause in the sale said that the Indians might occupy the lands while they belonged to the Government. Black Hawk's narrative is singnlarly deficient in dates. He was the grandson of Nana-ma- kee, his father was Tyesa, and he was born on the shores of Rock river, near where it empties into the Mississippi. There he remained till he was fifteen years old, when he won honour- able distinction by wounding an enemy This was the first event of hi? life which he considers of importance enough to record. He was in battle with, the Osages, where he saw his father kill a man and tear off his scalp. This fired his ambition, and he attacked and killed and scalped his enemy. There wer" several expeditions against this tribe. In ore of these his father was mortally wounded, and after his death Black Hawk fell heir to the great medicine bag of his forefathers. In all hie successes in battle he recognised the aid of the Great Spirit. Finally there was peore among the tribes, and they settled ouietlv down, in their villages. It appears that the tribes oceu-nving the land in what is now called Illinois, Iowa, and Wis- (,()1\in, had been constantly at war with each other. The Indians found the Rock River and Mississippi country exceedingly attractive. The island of Rock Island was a favourite resort for the young people of the tribes. It was there they had their games and dances. They felt that they had found the most beautiful aad desirable spot they had ever seen, and deter- mined never to leave it. After their harvests had been secured and the hunters had returned laden with the spoils of the chase they gav« themselves up to their favourite amusements. They raised corn, beans, squashes, and other vegetables, and caehed them for winter use. A deep hole was dug in the ground, the vege- tables were placed therein, and covered with earth and bark. Frequently the contents of the cache wer" stolen by their enemies by piercing the ground with their spears. Black Hawk was 35 years old when the first American appeared. The Americans had taken possession of the country about St. Louis. The news of this filled the tribes with apprehension, for, as Black Hawk natively say?, "We had always bad accounts of the Americans who lived near the India.ns." The tribes frequently visited St. Louis to see a. person in authority whom he calls "our Spanish Father," who always treated them well and gave them provisions. As this account is taken from Black Hawk's narrative, it is not I known who was the "Spanish Father" referred to. Subsequently he refers to our American Father" at St. Louis. The possessions of the Sacs and Foxes ex- tended as far as Peoria, and thence to strike the Oaii-consin River eighty miles from its cuth down the river to the Mississippi. They owned also the whole of Iowa. Colonel Davenport, who 'was an English trader with the Indians, says:—"As nearly as I could ascertain, these tribes came from Canada, from a region near Montreal." They were governed by two sets of chiefs—civil and war chiefs. The civil chiefs settled troubles betwem tribes. Black Hawk and Keokuk were the prominent I war chiefs. I Black Hawk was determined to stay in his village, notwithstanding all the land had been ceded to the Government of the United States by the treaty of 1804. But ae the whites were .?-?- ccirnvg in great numbers, seeing the beauty and desirableness of this land so fair and so fertile, they were continually encroaching upon the domain of the Indians. It will be remembered tŒ1a;t there was a clause in the treaty which allowed the tribes to remarr in their homes ss long as tie land was in the possession of the Government, but as the white people came they settled wherever they pleased, ploughing up the fields which the Indians had planted, and appropriating the land to their own ures. It was determined to remove the Indians, but Black Hawk, profoundly impressed with the injustice of the whites, determined to await the arrival of the soldiers, which had been threatened, with their "great war chief." Accordingly, when the personage arrived, a trreaft council was held. Black Hawk and his chiefs listened to the speech made by General Gains, "the war chief," warning them that they had been told to leave the country and go west of the Mississippi. Black Hawk replied "We have never sold our country; we have never received any annuities from our American Father, and we are determined to hold on to ouir village." The war chief ex- claimed "Who i-s Black Hawk? Who Black Hawk?" He replied: "I a.m a Sac My forefather was Ssc All the nations call me a Sac!" Tbi- savage nohteman of the forest thought this was enough, but was told that the General neither came to beg nor hire them to leave their vil- lage. "I will remove you peaceably tif I can. for- cibly if I rnigt I I will give you two days in which to remove," said the General. The council broke up in confusion. The daughter of an old chief was sent to the fort to ask that, her people should remain long enough to gather their crops in the fields; and another deputation was sent with the same request, but it was denied. Ther 3 steam- boat was anchored near them full of soldiers. The Indians crossed the river in thr night. Tc compensatte them for 'their crops, oora was proHrsed them, which, however, was entirely inadequate to their wants. Th- women and children lamented being deprived of the vege- tables. and in the night party went across the river to secure vegetables from the fields which they had planted. The whites had no regard for a flag of truce, frequently shooting down the bearer. The war, which terminated with the battle of Bad Ax, in 1832, was then at an end, after a great reduction of the warriors of Black Hawk's band. The American forces were in command of General Scott. i" lias been said that BlaA Hawk's narrative is somewhat apocryphal, but it is thought it is in the main true. It is a very sad story. Antoine lie Claire, to whom it was dictated, was a. re- spectable citizen ct Davenport, held in equal esteem by whites and Indians. 1'1 his affidavit appended to the narrative he save: — In accordance with Black Hawk's it-quest, I acted as hie interpreter. I was particularly cautious, to understand the narrative through- out, and have no hesitation in pronouncing it true in every particnlar." Black Hawk's dedication of the work to his captor. General Atkinson, is pathetic, and. a translation is here given. He was a prisoner at Jefferson Barrack. and vt the time was 67 years old. He say-' to General Atkinson; — "Sir! The changes of fortune have made you my conqueror. The ftory of my life is intimately connected with « part of the history of your own. I have, therefore, dedicated it to you. Before I set out on my journey to the land of my fathers I have determined to give my motives and reasons for my former hosti- lities to the whites, and to vindicate my character from misrepresentation. I am now an obscure member of a nation that for- merly honoured and respected my opinions. May ycv-a never experience the humility that the power of the American Government has reduced me to is the wish of him who in his native forced was once as proud and bold us yourself. Black Hawk, tenth moon, 1835. This sketch is not a history of the war, but more of a character sketch. That innate n ability and religious feeling of the Sac as nation is exemplified by an incident which occurred in 1841. It is told in the souvenirs of the Prince de Joinville. when he made the descent of the Mississippi. The territory of Iowa, which belonged to the Sacs and Foxes, was in dispute between the whites and the Indians. The Prince says in his book: "A party of Indians came on board at St. Louis. They were on their way to Washing- tan to lay their grievances before the President They had the moat resolute ajid impassive countenances, and behaved with the greatest dignity, never showing any excitement except when we passed the confluence of the Missis- eippi with the Missouri river. There was a splendid sunset. The Indians assembled in the stern of the boat and --epsa-tcxl a kind of invocatory pra.yer. It was a perfect pscruire." The history of the wrongs indicted cw> the Indians of the Rock River country is only a repetition to tbos# inflicted on the tribes else- where. It is fr-e testimony of those who have lived among them that they are, when æ a state of nature, remarkably free from the l"icee tisLisjly attributed to saTages.
