"Don't forget what was sacrificed. And keep fighting in the ways you can. You are still occupied. You are still here. You are born of real survivors. So go live.” These are the powerful words from my guest, comic book artist Jim Terry (Ho-Chunk), in his book “Paper Cut”. I really enjoyed this casual conversation with Jim, who lives not far from me in Chicago. He opened my eyes to the history and presence of the Ho-Chunk people — “people of the big voice.” You might also know them by the name once given to them: Winnebago. And by the way — did you know “Chicago” (or chicagoua) most likely comes from the Algonquin word for onions… or maybe even garlic? Jim and I also talked about his life as a freelance artist, the funny (and sometimes awkward) conversations between Native and non-Native people, and the deeper, more personal themes behind his book “Come Home, Indio”. In it, he opens up about feelings of not belonging and a lifelong journey toward making peace (or something like it) with the treatment of our Native American ancestors. We also touched on the story of Edward E. Ayer — a lumber baron who, in 1911, donated 17,000 Native American manuscripts, photos, and artifacts to the Newberry Library. Today, that collection has grown to over 130,000 volumes. (Some of those items also found a home at Chicago's Field Museum.) Jim was honored to be commissioned by the Newberry Library for their Indigenous Chicago program, creating artwork inspired by those thousands of historical documents.

It’s an all Ho-Chunk crew today! Emerge Wisconsin Executive Director Arvina Martin returns for a weekly chat with host Robert Pilot and producer Haley Cherry.

The United Methodist Church (UMC) had a momentous global meeting last year (2024), with the major outcome of allowing—or at least not preventing or taking action against—performing same-sex marriages and ordaining non-celibate gay leaders in the church. Methodists around the world have WIDE disagreements on how they even interpret this outcome, much less what they should do about it.This conflict is as much about church unity and governance as it is about LGBTQ rights and people—but of course they're wrapped up together. You might recognize yourself and your own Christian denomination in the UMC's 40+ years of conversations on these topics. Church unity is hard, folks.Last year, we talked to two members of the UMC to hear their perspectives: a U.S.-based seminary student pursuing ordination with the UMC, and a bishop in UMC leadership in Liberia.This is Part 1 of 2. Part 2 can be found here: [link available Feb 19, 2025]It's so important to take the time to listen to each other as we examine our own convictions. Please join us in listening with care for our Christian siblings around the world.About Our Guest:Joe Meinholz is currently a seminarian at Duke Divinity School pursuing ordination in the United Methodist Church. He grew up farming in Ho Chunk land (Southern Wisconsin) and is an aspiring community organizer, pastor, water protector, and lover of Jesus.—Note: This episode uses the terms “Side A” and “Side B” (and X, Y) as shorthand quite a bit.

In this episode, Hailey uncovers Ho-Chunk history, where there is a prevailing theme of perseverance. Throughout the course of time, the tribe has been tried and challenged. Of these historic and intergenerational challenges, Native children were rapidly and abruptly split and displaced, away from their families and tribes. But hope lingered for future generations, as the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA) came into play. Tune in to learn About the Indian Child Welfare Act, hear powerful pre-act stories, and uncover the post-act impact that continues to carry into the present day.Read the blog here: https://discoverwisconsin.com/uncovering-ho-chunk-history-indian-child-welfare-act/The Bobber: https://discoverwisconsin.com/the-bobber-blog/The Cabin Podcast: https://the-cabin.simplecast.com.

This episode of the Cabin Podcast is brought to you by Ho-Chunk Nation: https://bit.ly/4g7y5sxCampfire Conversation:Today's exciting bonus episode shines a spotlight on the Ho-Chunk Nation–a long-time partner of Discover Wisconsin. The Cabin welcomes Rob Reider, the Senior Marketing Director for the Ho-Chunk Nation, and Brett Rolstad, our exceptional producer to the show. Through a series of remarkable and award-winning short films, Rob and Brett have been instrumental in bringing the stories of the Ho-Chunk people to life.The Cabin crew takes a deep dive behind the scenes of powerful videos, including Emmy award-winning "Exploring the Artistic Process of Truman Lowe," and most recently, "The Impact of the Indian Child Welfare Act," along with several other captivating shorts. From raising awareness about important issues to celebrating Ho-Chunk art and traditions, these shorts are making a significant impact on how people understand and appreciate Native American culture. Stay tuned as we unpack the creativity, passion, and purpose behind these award-winning productions.

World-renowned chef, community builder, and member of the Ho-Chunk Nation Elena Terry sees food as an opportunity for preserving tradition, and a canvas for creativity.

Everyone loves dumplings. So everyone should also love the first news item in this episode: dumpling-making classes at The Wolf. These opportunities for delicious instruction are no joke. Chef Kristin Schwab set up a couple for December, and both of them sold out so fast that the restaurant decided to make them a monthly affair all throughout 2025. We break down this very cool experience, which you can register for right now (even the one next December if you're the type who likes to plan ahead) on The Wolf website.There's another website you can visit for more details on a couple other things we discuss on this episode. Milwaukee Magazine just posted Ann's great interview with Wild Bearies founder Elena Terry, a member of the Ho-Chunk nation and expert on indigenous cuisine, Terry landed a well-earned spot on the Wisconsin-centric season of Top Chef and told Ann in the full Q&A, “I know for myself, to be considered on that level, an expert – it's been a long time coming.” Milwaukee Magazine also has Ann's latest Dish of the Month: katsudon from Todd I Believe I Can Fry (2159 S. Kinnickinnic Ave.). The Japanese staple is built around a panko-breaded pork cutlet, and Ann's affection for it is very obvious — both in her vivid description on the podcast and her story at Milwaukee Magazine.Believe it or not, we also have something NOT from the magazine to wrap up this episode. It's the very good news that the much-loved Chucho's Red Tacos will join the Diverse Dining Market (250 W. Wisconsin Ave.) every Tuesday. We're big supporters of birria tacos, and it's great to have places like Chucho's serving them up around Milwaukee.

I just finished reading Black Hawk: Battle for the Heart of America by Kerry Trask. Loved it! If you're interested in the history of the Upper Midwest, you'll love this book! In this episode, I cover Henry Dodge, White Cloud, the Ho Chunk, Prophetstown, Battle of Pecatonica and also a little history leading up to this War and its aftermath. 1. Black Hawk: Battle for Heart of America by Kerry Trask 2. Autobiography of Chief Black Hawk

We hear from friends and colleagues of the late Milwaukee Alderman Jonathan Brostoff, who died by suicide earlier this month. Local therapists on coping with sudden loss. Ho-Chunk chef Elena Terry talks food and Thanksgiving.

Redistricting and D-2 Legislative seat were on the ballot. I lament about the poor turnout for Ho-Chunk elections while in national elections, Indigenous peoples in general and Ho-Chunks in particular, make a strong effort to get to the polls

Ho Chunk Inc. celebrated its 30th anniversary as the economic development wing of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska Wednesday. Small Business Administrator Isabel Guzman, who serves in President Joe Biden's cabinet, visited Winnebago and said Ho-Chunk Inc. serves as a model for other Native American economic development efforts. Since its founding in 1994, Ho-Chunk Inc. has reinvested $44 million dollars of dividends back into the Winnebago tribe.

A tool that empowers Milwaukee renters. The Ho-Chunk Nation's newly developed Department of Agriculture. The scientific, cultural and personal connections we have with the moon.

Robert Pilot and Haley Cherry welcome back Ho-Chunk relative Arvina Martin, Executive Director of Emerge Wisconsin. Then, Little Earth Residents Association's (LERA) Teen Recovery Coach Eileen Bass joins with a couple students from the Wellbriety for Youth cohort!

It is definitely interesting how some people come to the careers that they do. I read a book by one of my MPA professors who described that process--it isn't a straight line. Gordon Limb's career has not followed a "straight line." But he has been led to do what he does now. During our conversation, he talks about how he's so grateful for the matriarchs in his line who have gone through so many hard things to bring him into this world and put him where he is now. I can feel that same emotion. He talks about how he has seen probably generational trauma manifest itself in his line and how he is working to combat the ill effects of that. It's pretty interesting. But, most importantly, he's trying to help people recognize their divine heritage of which we all share.

For their most important public gathering in the presidential election, Democrats have chosen to meet on the traditional lands of the Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Odawa, and a handful of other nations. The state has no established federally recognized tribes, but the number of Chicago citizens who identify as Native American has more than doubled in the past ten years. We'll be in Chicago, talking with Native Chicago residents who are also clued in to the Democratic political process about what the party is doing to reach Native voters and what sets them apart from their political rivals. GUESTS Pamela Silas (enrolled member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and Oneida Tribe of Wisconsin descendant), active member of the Chicago American Indian Community Mary Smith (citizen of the Cherokee Nation), former IHS director and founder of the Caroline and Ora Smith Foundation Monica Rickert-Bolter (Prairie Band Potawatomi), visual artist and director of operations at the Center for Native Futures Shaun Griswold (Laguna, Zuni, and Jemez), editor of Source New Mexico

The world's attention is gripped by an assassination attempt against Donald J. Trump, as he is preparing to accept his party's nomination in Milwaukee, Wisc. Already a tumultuous race, the violence portends a political event like no other. We'll be in Milwaukee to hear about what is on the political minds of some of the state's 11 federally recognized tribes as the November election begins to come into focus. GUESTS Brandon Yellowbird Stevens (Oneida Nation of Wisconsin), vice chairman of the Oneida Nation of Wisconsin Bill Trepanier (Lac Courte Oreilles), secretary and treasurer of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Marlon WhiteEagle (Ho-Chunk), freelance writer and copy editor for Native News Online

A 14-year-old student was excluded from a University of Wisconsin precollege program because the university wasn't able to accommodate that student's disability. Today, we hear from the student and their mom. Plus, Rob heads to the Gamma Ray Bar to ask owner Kevin Wilmot II what it takes to open a live venue downtown, what it means to have a Black-owned venue downtown, and why he's not Kevin Wilmot, Jr.  Links: “A massive disconnect.” UW unenrolls student with disability from precollege program Ho-Chunk chef Elena Terry to compete on Food Network's BBQ Brawl; season five premieres Monday    

This week C.J. and Kent discuss new measures to make voting more accessible for disabled people, Trump and Biden being neck and neck in the latest Marquette poll, and the history of the Ho-Chunk codetalkers, who used their indigenous language to encode military communications during the Second World War.

Six state universities are projected to have deficits next school year, but that's still not as many as last year. All four of the liberal justices on the state Supreme Court have endorsed a Dane County Judge's 20-25 Wisconsin Supreme Court campaign. Members of the Ho-Chunk nation have completed a five-day voyage in a dugout canoe along parts of the Mississippi River.

President Jon Greendeer joins the podcast and discusses his first year in office

Native Americans, in general, have traditionally supported Democrats, and that has made a significant difference in a few key races. Some candidates are reaching out to the Native vote to get them into office, or to keep them in. The historic election of U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola (Yup'ik/D-AK) brings the number of Native Democrats in Congress to the highest it's ever been: two. We'll hear from some notable Native Democrats about the issues they see as important to Native voters. GUESTS Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Band of Ojibwe), Minnesota Lieutenant Governor U.S. Rep. Sharice Davids (Ho-Chunk), U.S. Representative of Kansas' 3rd Congressional District U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola (Yup'ik), U.S. Representative of Alaska Clara Pratte (Navajo), CEO of Strongbow Strategies and the Democratic National Committee Native American Caucus chair

EPISODE 185 I was just in Madison, Wisconsin to attend a college graduation ceremony as my daughter graduated from the University of Wisconsin. During the graduation ceremony, one of the graduation speakers told the audience that the campus in Madison, Wisconsin, on which the university sits was originally land that was part of Native American Ho- Chunk Nation.  The Ho-Chunk people are called “the people of the scared voice.” This speaker went on to talk about how the Native American Ho-Chunk women would start with a single bead on a thread and keep adding additional beads of different colors to that thread.  This process would be repeated on a large number of threads.  The threads with all the beads were then weaved together until they created a beautiful work of art. You create the fabric of your own life by adding personal experiences, your own beads, to threads in your own life.  Metaphorically this bead work refers to the essential elements that make up and shape your own personal experiences and existence. How do you create a new, unique tapestry in your own life? Creating a new, beautiful unique tapestry allows you to create a positive impact in your own life and inspire others.

Gaming revenue hit a record $40.9 billion in the most recent report by the National Indian Gaming Commission. Gaming's economic reliability over the years along with other tribal enterprises give some tribes multi-billion dollar annual incomes. The U.S. Census Bureau reports Native-owned businesses employ more than 243,000. We'll hear about the unique opportunities and challenges that come with tribal wealth.

Tracy sits down with author/illustrator duo Britt Gondolfi and Amanda Romanick to discuss their timely, poetic, beautifully illustrated picture book "Look Up! Fontaine the Pigeon Starts a Revolution," Published by Paw Prints. Fontaine the Pigeon is a small bird with a big mission: to get people to look away from their phones and admire the world around them. This picture book packs a powerful message with some seriously beautiful artwork. The revolution begins on April 30th! About the Britt & Amanda: Britt Gondolfi, born and raised in Southeast Louisiana, is a children's book author, community organizer, and mother. Since 2017, Britt has worked with the Bioneers Intercultural Conversation Program, facilitating programming for Atlanta, Bogalusa, and Houma students. While in law school, Britt supported the Bioneers Rights of Nature initiative by researching the intersection of tribal sovereignty and Federal Indian law, facilitating workshops on the Rights of Nature at the Ho-Chunk and Mashpee Wampanoag nations. Her first Children's book, "Look Up! Fontaine the Pigeon Starts a Revolution," is a hilarious social commentary on digital distraction and Nature's fight to save us from ourselves. Amanda Romanick is a multidisciplinary artist whose passion and education for craft began at the age of 5 when she was hand-selected for the Talented Arts Program in her hometown parish. She focused heavily on creative education and outlets like drawing and painting. She graduated with honors from Savannah College of Art and Design, where she concentrated on illustration and sequential art. Amanda is also a mom of a young child and felt the need to create a more balanced relationship between the natural world and screen use. Britt and Amanda are close friends, and so are their seven-year-old children, Sofia and Scout. This is their first published book. The book comes out with Paw Prints Publishing, an imprint of Baker & Taylor, April 30th 2024. You can get it everywhere books are sold or you can get it directly from the artists at www.fontainethepigeon.com.

Welcome back, Jean! She returned from vacation today & gave us an update on how things went in Alabama. We obviously talked about the eclipse a LOT this morning, including the expected increase in car crashes, and about 7% of people don't want to watch it at all. Another big topic this morning was the death of Firehouse frontman CJ Snare. Brian's recap of the Firehouse & Bret Michaels show at Ho-Chunk in BRF was our Monday Morning Throwback today. Had a very nice story about a retired teacher who donated $1 million to her school district, and a hilarious clip of Charles Barkley getting pranked during the Final Four coverage. Now that someone has won the massive Powerball jackpot, Shaw broke down the taxes to see how much that person is ACTUALLY going to end up with. We talked about the Dodger fans who caught Shohei Ohtani's first homerun ball in an LA uniform that claim they were pressured to give it up in exchange for very little. During today's "Bad News with Happy Music", we had stories about a mother & daughter who were traveling the country giving illegal butt injections, the world's most recent oldest man, a guy who ran from one side of Africa to the other, a guy who stole a baseball team's swear jar, a Southwest flight that lost part of it's engine, a dangerous new trend on Tik Tok involving fireballs, a guy who was in the middle of his vasectomy when the earthquake hit the East Coast last week, a guy who claims the hotel staff used his toothbrush to clean his bathroom, and a guy who showed up for court naked.

Members of the Yurok Tribe told California lawmakers that state's first year using an alert system specifically for missing Native people is making a difference. The Feather Alert system issues public messages similar to the widely used the Amber Alert process. Yurok officials say the new alerts are widely used by tribal members and other Native residents, increasing the chances of finding people who go missing. The California effort is one of the tools in the constant battle against human trafficking that disproportionately affects Native Americans and other people of color. Anyone who has information about a potential human trafficking situation or a person who may be experiencing human trafficking should contact the FBI, local law enforcement, or the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 (text: 233733) GUESTS Nicole Matthews (White Earth Band of Ojibwe), executive director of Minnesota Indian Women's Sexual Assault Coalition Rebecca Balog (Oglala Lakota, Mohawk, Romani), training and technical assistance program development coordinator for Mending the Sacred Hoop Bonnie Clairmont (Ho-Chunk), victim advocacy specialist for the Tribal Law and Policy Institute

Along with some golf discussion, a major topic is Truman Lowe, whose story was profiled by Discover Wisconsin.

Eric, Ana, and Robert also dive into how the Ho-Chunk government operates as an independent entity, right down to license plates and school systems. They discuss how they preserve and pass on tribal traditions, including an educational system that teaches the Ho-Chunk language to new generations. They also discuss how economics are driving the future from casino operations to artistic endeavors and small business, and the impact of notable natives like Truman Lowe.

This week C.J. and Kent discuss the warning of an election watchdog, the revival of the Ho-Chunk language, and the flamingos in Lake Michigan.

In 1863, the Civil War was raging in the United States and Minnesota had just passed laws exiling Dakota and Ho-Chunk people from their homelands. And it was during this tumultuous time that the first deaf students moved into a rented store building in Faribault to attend a new residential school. By the time what's now called the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf opened its doors, more than 20 similar institutions had opened in other states around the country. The school now has a campus located about a mile from the state academy for blind students. And deaf education has changed quite a bit in the last 160 years. MPR News host Cathy Wurzer talked with Director Jody Olson and school psychologist Heather Breitbach about the history of the school, and how its mission has shifted. Nettie Peters interpreted the conversation.
