'''Appanoose''' was a 19th-century Meskwaki chief who lived in Iowa; he was the son of Taimah (Chief Tama)<ref>''Annals of Iowa'' (1903) Vol. 6, p. 203</ref> and probably a grandson of Quashquame. Prior to European-American settlement in the 19th century, the tribe occupied territory in what became Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa.
