From
the days of the early fur traders, Trempealeau County seems to have
been occupied more or less in common, by two branches of the Siouan
family of North American Indians, the Dakota or Sioux proper, and the
Winnebago.1
The Fox, Sauk and Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indians of the Algonquian family,
also appear to have made frequent raids here, and various other tribes
made their rendezvous at Trempealeau Bay in fur-trading days.
