MITW history - Chief Iometah
Menominee Indian Chief Iometah The "Fish Spawn" was born about 1772, and was the Head War Chief of the Tribe and the brother of Tomah. He was on the warpath during the War of 1812 and was considered a very good hunter in his day.

In 1842, his Band was located on the Fox River at Little Chute and consisted of 93 families. His name appears on all Treaties except the 1854 Treaty. When he moved his Band, in 1852, to the Reservation he settled on the east bank of the Wolf River near the payground, later known as Keshena, Wisconsin.

He died in 1867.
