This land acknowledgement was created in collaboration with the Ho-Chunk Nation, the Village of Waunakee, UniverCity Year, and the UW-Madison Nelson Institute of Environmental Studies. Specifically, we would like to thank Jessie Conaway, Sarah Lemiuex, Josie Lee, Ryan Greendeer, Tom Wilson, and Todd Schmidt for their support in creating this statement. This land acknowledgment was inspired by the UW-Madison Shared Future Statement and was informed by Ho-Chunk history from Bill Quackenbush. Students of UW-Madison studied other land acknowledgments to draft this statement. This land acknowledgement serves as a first step in a more involved and action-based initiative aimed at bolstering community education and raising public awareness in regards to the Ho-Chunk Nation.
