This report presents ways for the Ho-Chunk Nation and Village of Waunakee to work together to develop accurate and meaningful acknowledgements of
the Ho-Chunk people within the Village. Two potential routes to pursue were researched and divided into sections:
-How to update current/existing official signage that is inaccurate and culturally insensitive.
-How to create a new, unconventional historical marker (forms can vary)
Recommendations are provided for both of these routes. Step-by-step processes for potential collaborations between the Ho-Chunk Nation and the Village of Waunakee are laid out in full detail, making a path to future implementation as clear as possible. Both sections focus on delineating methods for fostering
ccurate educational resources in a physical way (not only through storytelling) for both Ho-Chunk Nation members and Village of Waunakee residents.
