The Sauk Tribe
Chief Black Hawk was a member of the Sauk Tribe.  The Sauk Indians lived in what is now Rock Island, Illinois.  They lived in wigwams, and they hunted, farmed, and fished for food.  Men in the tribe wore breechcloths and sported no hair or mohawks.  Sometimes men in the tribe wore roaches which are headpieces made out of deer and porcupine hair.  Women wore wraparound skirts and braids in their hair.  Both men and women in the Sauk tribe wore moccasins.  They travelled by foot or by canoe, and after the white settlers arrived in North America they began using horses to travel.
