This middle school curriculum designed by Sac and Fox teachers and cultural educators provides teachers in Illinois with the resources they need to teach the history and current cultural context of the Sac and Fox Nation.

Each year we provide opportunities for our players to learn about the Sac and Fox Nation and their leader Black Hawk to inspire a deeper connection and understanding of our namesake.

We provide a four year scholarship to four students annually who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in honor of our team’s namesake Black Hawk and Sac and Fox Nation Olympian Jim Thorpe.
