URBAN INDIAN TRIBAL ORGANIZATION WELCOMES YOU!
History of U.I.T.O.
The Quad City area of Iowa and Illinois has been home to Native American heritage for centuries. Black Hawk is one of the most recognized leaders in the history of the area. Black Hawk's love for Saukenuk, a principal village on the Rock River, is well known.
Today, Urban Indian Tribal Organization, founded in 1998, has also developed attachments to the Mississippi Valley.
