The aim of this project is to educate visitors at Ripp Park about Ho-Chunk history, language, culture, and ecology. This project has been developed through collaboration among representatives from Ho-Chunk Nation, the Village of Waunakee, and the Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies at UW Madison. As a part of the UniverCity Year project in Waunakee, this project promotes Waunakee’s goals of developing social justice, racial equity, and inclusion
and community civility. Specifically, this project uses physical installations such as signs and kiosks to provide insights into and recognition of the past, present, and future of Ho-Chunk history and culture.
