Why did the Sac and Fox tribes form together?
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.
