None of the Porters have ever received a salary for their years of daily work. The Native influence “I teach the value of having a good attitude towards team mates and their community,” says Frank Porter. “We also teach the importance of unity among cultures, respecting diversity among peers and surroundings. Our student athletes are taught by ex- ample, through observation, memorization, and hands on train- ing. Which is common practice through our Native teachings.” Among the club’s community activities are block clean-ups, neighborhood celebrations, ancestor memorials, helping the el- derly and disabled, creation of gardens and landscapes, and cul- tural events. The Porters have always tried to build tolerant attitudes in the youth, in part to discourage gang formation and family discord. “Our Native elders have taught us before a person can be healed or heal another, one must be cleansed of bad feelings, negative thoughts, bad spirits or negative energy- cleanse both physically and spiritually,” continues Porter. “This is performed annually during a Ghost Feast in honor of the late Del Porter [Frank’s father]. This gathering ceremony demonstrates to our warrior athletes the importance of retaining our culture.” The next Ghost Feast On May 5, 2018, Ace Boxing will be celebrating the 10th anniver- sary of the passing of the club’s founder, Del Porter (see photo of Frank and Del Porter to the right). The public is encouraged to attend the feast at the Del Porter pavilion in Kosciuszko Park. 4 Page Dr. JFL: I know that there are many indig- Preserving indigenous enous speakers also working on preserving these languages, such as Preston Thompson languages of the HoChunk.

After all, she spent years of her life exploring the Town of Milwaukee Union Cemetery, tucked away north of Bayshore Mall in Whitefish Bay. She remembered running through the cemetery as a girl "to scare ourselves on Halloween". Years later, as a neighbor and a historian, she began tending the little cemetery and quite literally, uncovering its history. Bird died of emphysema Thursday at the Glendale condominium she called home the last four years. She was 69. "She really died from cigarette smoking" said husband John D. Bird. "That's what did it." She was born Miriam Young in Milwaukee. When she was 4, her parents moved to Whitefish Bay. That was where she grew up and spent her adult life. It was also where she became the undisputed expert on local history, both in the village and the greater North Shore area. In her earlier years Bird had worked as a secretary. She met her husband when their mothers — concerned about their two twenty-something children remaining unmarried—managed to fix them up for a date.

  • The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W
    e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 1 The Saga of a Landslide Reelection, Baby Bonds, and a Recall: Mayor Daniel W. Hoan 1932-1933 Scott R. Letteney e.polis Volume V, Fall/Winter 2012 2 INTRODUCTION In April 1933, rumors of an impending effort to recall the mayor of Milwaukee spread around Milwaukee City Hall.1 While the purported motivations driving the nascent attempt to unseat Mayor Daniel W. Hoan included his inability to push a change to the City tax code through the Common Council, deteriorating conditions in City Hall, and pressure from local taxpayer organizations, the real problem may have been the depths in which Milwaukee found itself during the Great Depression. According to a letter sent to him by the Fifteenth Ward Taxpayers’ Club, during the depression Mayor Hoan failed to show “any leadership that would tend to lessen the burden of the hard-pressed citizens of Milwaukee.”2 Daniel Webster Hoan was elected mayor of the City of Milwaukee in 1916 after having served as Milwaukee’s City Attorney for six years. Hoan was born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and educated at the University of Wisconsin and the Kent College of Law. He was admitted to practice law in Wisconsin in 1907. He served as a labor attorney until he was elected Milwaukee City Attorney in 1910.3 Hoan had been elected City Attorney, as part of a veritable sweep of the election by members of the Socialist Party, with Emil Seidel at the head of the ticket. Seidel was the first of three Socialist mayors that would serve the City of Milwaukee over the next half- century.

  • The Menomonee Valley a Window to Milwaukee’S Past and a Projection of Its Future
    The Menomonee Valley A Window to Milwaukee’s Past and a Projection of its Future Joseph Zagrodnik University of Wisconsin-Madison History 460, Section 307 24 November 2008 2 The one constant through the Menomonee Valley’s past has been its river. Of course, the river and everything around it has gone through astounding changes in the last few centuries, but the valley has always facilitated the flow of the Menomonee River on the final leg of its journey to Lake Michigan. Along this final path, specifically from Wisconsin Avenue to 27th street, the river passes some of the most striking symbols of Milwaukee’s past, present, and future which connect like nowhere else in the city. In this stretch, a baseball stadium and its vast parking lots pass by while a business park sits just behind the lots. Further down the river, two old smokestacks serve as the centerpiece to a new park, with steel trusses, manufacturing plants, and railroads in the background. At first, there may not seem to be much connection between these landmarks, but a closer look reveals that is the collision of these contrasting symbols in the geographical center of Milwaukee that makes the Menomonee Valley so remarkable. The economic initiatives represented by the smokestacks once contrasted with the ecological attributes still symbolized in the parks and river that first made the valley attractive to settlers. The impact of economic growth on the valley’s ecology is vital to understanding why the Menomonee Valley and the City of Milwaukee remain connected to this date. As the constant in the valley, the river is the best place to examine these changes.

Each building will comply with the Sustainable Design Guidelines set forth by the City of Milwaukee and Menomonee Valley Partnership (MVP), to promote energy efficient “green” facilities. Included in the redevelopment will be 70 acres of green space that re-establish Milwaukee Road’s previous ecosystems and protect them from further damage. In addition to considering environmental aspects developers will contribute to the community and economy by selling parcels to companies offering the most family-supportive jobs. Family supportive jobs entail high wages and health benefits. Upon completion, city officials estimate 1,830 new jobs will be created. “A revitalized Valley at the Center of Milwaukee; economically with strong companies and jobs near workers’ homes, geographically with renewed ties to the surrounding city, ecologically with healthy waterways and greenspace, and culturally with firm roots in its past and a role in histories to come.”—Aim of Milwaukee Road Redevelopment Project Description: The Milwaukee Road is an extensive brownfield redevelopment project incorporating green technology and economic stimulation through job creation.

  • Potowatomi Relgion & Medicine Lodge
    Manataka American Indian Council POTAWATOMI CULTURE & RELIGION By Huron H. Smith INTRODUCTION PLANT MEDICINES HISTORY PART I MATERIAL CULTURE PART II RELIGION PART III MEDICINE LODGE FOOD PLANTS VEGETABLE FIBERS MATERIAL CULTURE The Forest Potawatomi still retain an archaic, simple, non- intensive Algonkian culture. Being woods dwellers, they use the same type of wigwam as other Wisconsin woodland Indians. An early description of them (1718) says, 25 "The Poutouatamis have their village near the fort. This nation makes its cabins of mats; these are made of reeds. All this work is done by the women. This nation is well-clothed like our savages resident at Montreal. The only occupation of the men is to hunt and to adorn themselves. They use a great deal of vermilion. They use many buffalo robes, highly ornamented, to cover themselves in winter and in summer they wear red or blue cloth." This refers to their winter abode. It only requires the cutting of poles and the use of rolls of birch bark and reed mats to quickly make a wigwam. In the summer time, the Potawatomi usually lived in more substantial rectangular dwellings near their fields of corn and beans. They used birch bark for all sorts of cooking and storage utensils as well as for canoes. Aboriginally they used shell beads, but after the traders came these were replaced but after the traders came these were replaced by glass beads. Porcupine quills were profusely employed to ornament their deerskin clothing and various other objects. The Potawatomi made some durable baskets and bags from the bark fiber of the white cedar or arbor vitae and from the bark fiber of the linden.
