Name

In-Person History Forum: Citizens of a Stolen Land: A Conversation of Ho-Chunk History & Survivance

Description

Learn how the Ho-Chunk have been central to Civil War-era history and the upper Midwest, past and present.

 

Join historian Stephen Kantrowitz and Josie Lee, Director of the Ho-Chunk Nation Museum & Cultural Center, for a conversation on Ho-Chunk history, land, and contemporary life. Together, they will speak about Kantrowitz’s new book Citizens of a Stolen Land: A Ho-Chunk History of Nineteenth-Century United States and Lee’s work in promoting, sheltering, and preserving past, present, and future Ho-Chunk ways of life. Kantrowitz’s book reconsiders the Civil War and Reconstruction eras by centering the Ho-Chunk and their strategic navigation of colonization, citizenship, and race to remain in their homelands and protect their sovereignty.
