Ioway Cultural Institute : The Ioway Virtual Library


The Ioway Library is dedicated to putting important historic texts on the Iowa (or Ioway) tribe online, especially those that have been out of print and are hard to find for those with no access to University libraries. In addition, texts on the Otoe and Missouria tribes will also be located here. This library is intended as an educational resource based on fair-use only, with most of the materials already in the public domain. If any author who retains copyright over their own published material wishes to give permission to put their articles online, that would be very much appreciated as well.
