Today, the estimated 12,000 Ho-Chunk are split between two federally recognized tribes, one in Nebraska and one in Wisconsin #victorianchaps #vintage #history #oldphoto #edwardian #wisconsin #hochunk #nativeamerican #retro #fashion #beauty #nostalgia #goodolddays #badoldtimes #portrait #1910s #edwardianera (at Black River Falls, Wisconsin) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHhh1hJAhU2/?igshid=5xo5ofqdinp3

Bear Clan Collection!

So I started this project for a local art competition in Milwaukee. All the bears are representative of a different Indigenous Community in Milwaukee. The natural elements in these designs are inspired by the tribes’ etymology.

Did you know that Fort Atkinson in Winneshiek County is a State Archaeological Preserve? It is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Fort Atkinson Historic District. This photo was taken during excavations led by Marshall McKusick in 1966. It shows the foundation of the Officer's quarters, looking northwest to the northern barracks.

From the 2013 NRHP press release: Iowa’s Fort Atkinson Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places February 27, 2013. This honor recognizes the property’s importance to U.S. military and Indian removal history. Cindy Peterson from the University of Iowa’s Office of the State Archaeologist; David Stanley of Bear Creek Archeology, Inc.; and the Fort Atkinson Historic Preservation Commission prepared the National Register nomination.

Fort Atkinson’s soldiers policed the Neutral Ground, a 200-x-40-mile land tract in northeast Iowa and southeast Minnesota. The government forcibly removed the Ho-Chunk (Winnebago) Indians from their Wisconsin homelands to the Neutral Ground, where many of the tribe lived between warring Santee Dakota (Sioux) tribes to the north and the Sauk and Meskwaki to their south. Fort Atkinson construction began in 1840, with soldiers housed there until 1849. By this date, the Ho-Chunk had been relocated to Minnesota.

Due to the preservation-minded nature of many inhabitants of the City of Fort Atkinson, several limestone buildings were saved from destruction. Fort Atkinson is the only remaining fort in the state with buildings in their original positions. Today, the powder magazine, two blockhouses (a.k.a., “cannon houses”), a barracks, the well, limestone quarry, and a reconstructed palisade remain, open to the public. Fort Atkinson provides an excellent tourism draw to northeast Iowa, particularly during the September Rendezvous, which annually brings over 1,000 school children to participate in 1840s activities with military and frontier reenactors. Attractions include a guided walking trail, downloadable informational podcast, and the Fort museum (open on select weekends). You can print a walking tour and guide to Fort Atkinson at: https://archaeology.uiowa.edu/…/OSA_FtAtkinsonTourGuide%20f…

We Are One (Day 338 of 365)

Native American Indians from the Ho-Chunk nation (now part of Wisconsin) teach and show us the beauty of God’s creation through ourselves and all parts of nature. They perform dances about life, including the Butterfly Dance symbolizing our various changes and transformations throughout life.
