If the waters could speak: Hoocąk voices and values
Janice Rice, senior academic librarian and lecturer emerita, UW-Madison, and member, Ho-Chunk Nation
Sponsored by Stantec
The interdependence of land and water has brought a richness of culture, history, and art into the lives of ancestral and present-day Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk) people. Many untold stories convey the culture and values that have guided generations of Hoocąk people who have called this place home. Hoocąk member and UW lecturer Janice Rice will share how her people lived and prospered in their villages of the sand country region. She’ll also share how present-day Hoocąk perpetuate the values and teachings with love and respect for the lands and waters. Listen as she weaves together the voices of her Hoocąk ancestors, along with her educational experiences in academia and life in Indian Country, sharing the inspiration she feels from the beauty of the landscape and waters of central Wisconsin’s homelands.
Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm. The program will start at about 7:30 pm.
