FOX INDIANS, the name, from one of their clans, of an Algonkin tribe, whose former range was central Wisconsin. They call themselves Musk wakiuk, "red earth people." Owing to heavy losses in their wars with the Ojibways and the French, they allied themselves with the Sauk tribe about 1780, the two tribes being now one.
