Keokuk, -1848
Chief of the Sac and Fox Indians; born on Rock River, Ill., about 1780; was a strong friend of the whites, and by his influence among his people averted a number of attacks which they had planned against the Americans.
In 1832, when his band was intent upon uniting with Black Hawk (q. v.) in an attack on the Americans, he held his warriors aloof and even held in check Black Hawk himself.
Later, with a number of his chiefs, he visited Washington, New York, Boston, and Cincinnati.
He died in Kansas in June, 1848.
