During the long course of Native Americans displacement from their ancestral lands, Wisconsin’s Ho-Chunk took various steps to resist it—some of the successful. Historian Stephen Kantrowitz tells how many Ho-Chunk found ways to return to Wisconsin and remain via ways legal and illegal. We’ll hear how some Ho-Chunk who were forced to live farthest from their homeland had a turn of luck that those exiling them would envy. And we’ll discover how some of the Ho-Chunk who returned to Wisconsin were able to put land ownership to their advantage.
