We are best known today as the tribe for whom the state of Iowa was named. We are often called the Ioway to help distinguish us from the state of Iowa. Tribal members use both Iowa and Ioway, although the legal name used today is "Iowa."
By the time white settlers first entered Iowa in the mid 1800s, the we moved our villages into northern Missouri, due to pressure and incessant warfare in Iowa between the Sioux in the northern and western parts of the state and the Sauk and Meskwaki in the southern and eastern parts of the state.
