University Roundtable: How the Ho-Chunk Thwarted Removal from Wisconsin  (back)
 
Description:
During the mid-nineteenth century the United States and its settlers stripped the Ho-Chunk people of legal title to their ancestral homeland and repeatedly forced them into exile west of the Mississippi River. Despite this, a significant fraction of the Ho-Chunk population never left Wisconsin or quickly returned to it; today, their descendants are citizens of the Ho-Chunk Nation, headquartered in Black River Falls. Stephen Kantrowitz, Professor in the Department of History, will explore how Ho-Chunk people resisted the forces that sought to expel them and turned the tools of colonization to their own advantage.
