They didn't actually form to become one tribe. The Meskwaki (Fox) had been devastated from disease and centuries of intense conflict with the French (see Fox Wars I and II) and sought refuge with the Asakiwaki (Sauk or Sac). They did not actually conjoin to become a single tribe. The Meskwaki decided to live in extreme proximity and travel with the Asakiwaki mostly for security, but also for economic reasons, such as their crops had been destroyed and would require food. They chose the Asakiwaki because they are the nation that is closest in relation to the Meskwaki, their languages are mutually intelligible and their cultures are very nearly identical.

How did the Mesquakies deal with death?
The Meskwaki (Mesquakie) exist in two forms, first they exist as mortal beings on earth, where they are born, live and die. Upon death, the spirit leaves the body and they exist as spiritual beings in a spiritual earth. But is is a continuation of either being a mortal or spiritual Meskwaki. Birth and death are only gateways of passage between these two existences. Birth is a time of happyness and death is a time of sadness. A Meskwaki saying is that "your children will cry when you die, but your mother and father will be happy to see you on the other side." Since death within the tribe disrupts and caues disorder in the Meskwaki Universe, the mortuary custms deal with the disposition of the human remains and also the soul. The burial customs deal with bural of the body which is cared for and buried in the ground. Then ceremonies take for the soul helping them to go to the hereafter. Also since death is a moral issue, because deceased Meskwaki do not call themselves "dead people" they are just Meskwakis in another form.
