On October 18th, 2016 the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska’s Early Language Initiative of Educare Winnebago received a grant of seven trees from the Nebraska Environmental Trust and US Forest Service Redesign Grants as part of the Re-Tree Nebraska Program of UNL. The trees were recently planted in our new outdoor learning area. This is the fi rst phase of development for the Educare Winnebago Early Language Initiative “Outdoor Learning Area”. We began to develop the Outdoor Learning Area for all the students of Educare Winnebago to The Winnebago EMS Program just got the help them learn about their cultural connection to the Earth and all the living things around them. biggest and baddest ambulance you’ll They are taught about nature, the earth, the sky, the weather, the insects, the animals and all of earth’s beauty.

All students of Educare Winnebago are taught the basic words they are learning in Early-Head Start and in Head Start in the HoChunk language. As part of the grant we are hosting a special event to educate the students of Educare Winnebago about the importance of trees, in our lives, in the lives of the animals and in the life of Mother Earth. The trees were planted by the students of the seven preschool classrooms and each tree will be their tree to raise for many generations. We will offer some cultural practices to help the trees grow and to let our sacred children bless the ground with their sacred foot prints.
