I think they got Des Moines wrong. In the Miami tongue, it means The Shit-faces.

Which would look pretty funny on the map in the "Land of the Pale-Faces," squatting right there between the Southern Land of Friends and the People Who Talk Normally.

Those injuns understood Iowa: when we aren't pale-faced, we're shit-faced.
