| | The Old Iowa Village (1880-1893), near Fallis, Oklahoma |
 | | The Iowa Indians were transferred to this section from their former homes in northeastern Kansas, and Frank Kent, now living southeast of Perkins, a young man at that time, helped to establish the tribal headquarters on Bear Creek, western Lincoln county. |
 | | According to Frank Kent, the Iowa Indian burial ground was started in the spring of 1883 when the first person, an 8-year-old girl, was buried. |
 | | Frank Orner said: "As I recall the Iowa land, it was indeed a land of "milk and honey." Deer, turkey, quail and prairie chickens, native fruits, grapes, flberries, strawberries, plums, pecans, walnuts, hickory nuts, and persimmons provided the main abundance of food. |
