How the Ho-Chunk Thwarted Removal from Wisconsin – Prof. Steve Kantrowitz 3-9-25 presentation

March 9, 2025

Prof. Stephen Kantrowitz of the UW-Madison Dept. of History gave this presentation at the Madison Friends Meetinghouse with information from his book “Citizens of a Stolen Land”. This is the story of how the Ho-Chunk people were forcibly removed from their homelands in Wisconsin, and how their non-violent resistance and the political events of the Reconstruction Era gained them the legal right to return as property-owning members of the community.
