Father Zenobius (1680) placed the Anthoutantas (Oto) and Nadouessious Maskoutens (Iowa) about 130 leagues from the Illinois, in 3 great villages built near a river which empties into the river Colbert (Missis- sippi) on the w. side, above the Illinois, almost opposite the mouth of the Wis- consin. He appears to locate a part of the Ainoves (perhaps intended for Aioiies), on the w. side of Milwaukee r., in Wis- consin. On JNIarquette's map (1674-79) the Pahoutet (Iowa), the Otontanta (.Oto), and INIaha (Omaha) are placed on Mis- souri r., evidently by mere guess. La Salle knew of the Oto and the Iowa, and in his letter in regard to Hennepin, Aug. 22,1682, mentions them under the names Otoutanta and Aiounouea, but his state- ment that Accault, one of his company, knew the languages of these triljes is doubtful. It is probable that in 1700, when Le Sueur furnished them with their first firearms, the Iowa resided on the extreme headwaters of Des Moines r., but it appears from this explorer's jour- nal that they and the Oto removed and "established themselves toward the Mis- souri river, near the ; Jefferys (Fr. Dom. in Am., 1761) placed them on the E. side of the Missouri, w. of the sources of Des Moines r., above the Oto, who were on the w. side of the JNIissouri and below the Omaha; but in the text of his work thev are located on the Mis- sissippi in lat. 43° 30^ In 1804, accord- ing to Lewis and Clark (Orig. Jour., vr, 91-92, 1905), they occupied a single vil- lage of 200 warriors or 800 souls, 18 leagues up Platte r., on the s. e.
