Let us never forget where we have come from in The Iowa Nation. I ask you to search deep within your hearts and pray to make the right choice for The Iowa Nation at this time. Do not let this election be another popularity contest that will sepa- rate families and keep the curse of poverty on The Iowa Nation.

The Iowas call themselves the Bah-Kho-Je which means grey snow, probably derived from the fact that during the winter months their dwellings looked grey, as they were covered with fire- smoked snow. The name Iowa is a French term for the tribe and has an unknown connection with 'marrow.' The Iowas began as a Woodland culture, but because of their migration to the south and west, they began to adopt elements of the Plains culture, thus culminating in the mixture of the two. The Iowa Nation was probably indigenous to the Great Lakes areas and part of the Winnebago Nation.
