Of the 7,200 members of the Nation, about 5,100 live within the state of Wisconsin and just over 1,200 reside in Jackson County. Since the establishment of new settlements in the region, the Ho-Chunk people have shared their rich culture with residents opening doors to dialogue, trade, and the great artistry of their traditional crafts. Today the evolution of these early relationships are still evident as the Nation, their members, and other residents of the county engage in commerce, partnerships, and shared governance to highlight the uniqueness of this beautiful and historic place in Wisconsin. Photo by Gene Ellis The Ho-Chunk Nation holds several events throughout the year, none more promoted than the Memorial and Labor Day weekend gatherings held at the Andrew Blackhawk Memorial Pow-Wow Grounds, located on State Highway 54 east of Black River Falls. The pow-wows held during these celebrations feature respected warriors from all nationalities raising over 100 flags in honor of the veterans who have proudly served and walked on. Ho-Chunk Heritage The Ho-Chunk Nation continues to make great strides in strengthening their cultural identity as well as growing in the economic and personal relationships made over the years. Following a prior Presidential proclamation in support of language revitalization, the Ho-Chunk Nation bridged further relationships with colleges and school districts to share this unique treasure. In 2011, the new administration and several district legislators have provided a progressive breath in the tribal government. For more information about the Ho-Chunk Nation, please visit the “Ho-Chunk Nation” on Facebook, or www.hochunknation.com.
