2024 History Series (Episode 5): "On Location: Ho-Chunk Treaty Trail"—From Hope to Crow Creek

Описание: EPISODE 5: FROM HOPE TO CROW CREEK—New beginnings at Blue Earth gave way to tragedy and trauma.
ABOUT THIS SERIES: Trails lead people from one place to another. We generally think of them as physical routes worn into the ground by the footsteps of travelers, but a trail can also be defined in a broader sense as a path through life's circumstances. For many Ho-Chunk people, their trail of forced expulsion was marked by a succession of treaty-mandated reservations where families were forced to relocate, adapt, and carry on their lives in the midst of intense suffering. Retrace this path with us from Wisconsin through Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Nebraska. Historic Indian Agency House | Portage, WI https://www.agencyhouse.org/treaty-trail
