Description
During the mid-nineteenth century the United States and its settlers stripped the Ho-Chunk people of legal title to their ancestral homeland and repeatedly forced them into exile west of the Mississippi River. Despite this, a significant fraction of the Ho-Chunk population never left Wisconsin or quickly returned to it; today, their descendants are citizens of the Ho-Chunk Nation, headquartered in Black River Falls.
