The goal of this project is to educate the community of the Village of Waunakee about Ho-Chunk Nation history, language, culture, and ecology. This project has been developed through collaboration among representatives from Ho-Chunk Nation, the Village of Waunakee, and the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW-Madison. As a part of the UniverCityYear project in the Village of Waunakee, this project promotes Waunakee’s goals of developing social justice, racial equity, and inclusion and community civility. Specifically, this project uses physical installations, recommendations for art exhibits, and a speaker series in collaboration with the Waunakee Public Library to provide insight into and recognition of the past, present, and future of Ho-Chunk history and culture.
