Baxoje

The Baxoje, also called the Iowa, were a Chiwere-speaking people who moved from the Great Lakes region into Iowa and the Great Plains. They grew maize, hunted with horses and traded furs and pipes with French colonists.

In 1836 the Iowa ceded their Little Platte lands in Missouri, part of the area acquired by the United States in the Platte Purchase. By 1837 most had been moved to a reservation near the Kansas–Nebraska border.
