The Meskwaki Settlement is an unincorporated community in Tama County, Iowa, United States, west of Tama. It is often called "the Sett" by residents.[1] It is home to a sizable community of Meskwaki Indians, enrolled in the Sac and Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Iowa, who maintain a tribal school, tribal courts, public works department, and police force. The settlement includes more than 8,000 acres (32 km2). There are about 1,300 members of the Meskwaki Tribe with about 800 living on the settlement; non-tribal members also live on the settlement.[2][3] A large Pow-Wow is held there each year.[4] The Meskwaki Casino Resort is located on the Settlement.[5]
