DESCRIPTION:
 Most people have heard of the Trail of Tears that 
 five Native Nations suffered during the 1800s, 
 but very few know that similar events dramatically 
 altered life for Native People here in Wisconsin. 
 This presentation will discuss the numerous forced 
 removals that the Ho-Chunk People endured from 
 1832 to 1865 and the Indian Boarding School period 
 that followed. Dr. Lewis will share oral histories 
 from Ho-Chunk Elders about the removals, the boarding 
 schools, and the long-lasting effects they caused. 
 Attendees are encouraged to practice self-care 
 during the presentation as the topics and stories 
 will be challenging.\n
