Ho-Chunk Winter Life in the Driftless Region

Bill Quackenbush, Ho-Chunk Tribal Historic Preservation Officer, will share an Indigenous perspective.

Since the last glaciers receded some 12,000 years ago, Wisconsin's "Driftless Region" has experienced vast changes in its environment. People living on the landscape needed to adapt to those changes, continuing into the four seasons we recognize today. Join us as we explore an Indigenous perspective on how the ancestors of today's Ho-Chunk People "survived" Wisconsin's harsh winters through thousands of years.

William “Naawacekgize” Quackenbush is a Ho-Chunk Deer Clan Tribal Member and serves as the Ho-Chunk Nation's Tribal Historic Preservation Officer (THPO) and Cultural Resources Division Manager, and also as President of the Wisconsin Inter-Tribal Repatriation Committee (WITRC). He is widely known for his work in many aspects of heritage preservation, and in 2024 he received the first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of Tribal Historic Preservation Officers.
