Keokuk (Kiyo`kaga, 'one who moves about alert' ). The one great occasion for which both the Sauk and the Foxes honor Keokuk was when, in the city of Washington, in debate with the representatives of the Sioux and other tribes before Government officials, he established the claim of the Sauk and Foxes to the territory comprised in what is now the state of Iowa. He based this claim primarily on conquest.

The war chief who led them during the 1832 war was Black Hawk.
The other name should be clear to all of you "Hawkeyes", as a town along the Mississippi River is named for him. It's Keokuk.

You probably mean Black Hawk of Black Hawks war. it wasn't much of a war but got its name from the chief. Abe Lincoln was a volunteer in it. It could be Keouok. a town and a union iron clad in the civil war were named for him.
