Black Hawk Forest Nature Preserve

The Black Hawk State Historic Site, in Rock Island, Illinois, is adjacent to the historic site of the village of Saukenuk, the home of a band of the Sauk people. It includes the John Hauberg Museum of Native American Life. The state park is located on a 150-foot (50 m) bluff overlooking the Rock Riv

er in western Illinois. It is most famous for being the birthplace of the Sauk warrior Black Hawk. The disputed cession of this area to the U.S. Government was the catalyst for the Black Hawk War.
