  • Native American Heritage
    Journey through Wisconsin Dells’ Rich Native American Heritage Long before the first boat embarked on a tour, even before the arrival of the hard-working lumber raftsmen who made their living on the Wisconsin River, others lived out their days in Wisconsin Dells. For hundreds of years, Native Americans made this area their home and it is their culture, history and intriguing legends that helped shape this region. The Ho-Chunk tribe, known for many years as the Winnebago, played a significant role in the history of the Dells area and was even partly responsible for its name. The river itself they called “Meskousing” or “Misconsing,” which historians have come to believe means “River of Red Stone” or “River of the Great Rock.” Over time, explorers, writers and map makers have given the name various spellings. In the end, the most common was Ouisconsin, which eventually took on a uniquely American spelling of Wisconsin. French explorers and fur traders called the area the “Dalles” which means “flat, layered rock.” Eventually the two names merged to become Wisconsin Dells. One of the most famous Ho-Chunk members is Yellow Thunder, who through his “refusal policy” emerged as the most important leader of the tribe. In 1837, the Ho-Chunk were coerced into signing a treaty relinquishing their Wisconsin lands and setting into motion the U.S. government’s “removal policy” in which Native Americans were moved to an area west of the Mississippi River. Four times, between 1844 and 1873, U.S. troops came to Wisconsin Dells, rounded up the Ho-Chunk, and moved them west.

  • BAD RIVER BAND of LAKE SUPERIOR TRIBE of CHIPPEWA INDIANS CHIEF BLACKBIRD CENTER Box 39 ● Odanah, Wisconsin 54861
    BAD RIVER BAND OF LAKE SUPERIOR TRIBE OF CHIPPEWA INDIANS CHIEF BLACKBIRD CENTER Box 39 ● Odanah, Wisconsin 54861 July 11, 2020 Ben Callan, WDNR Division of External Services PO Box 7921 Madison, WI 53708-7921 [email protected] RE: Comments Concerning the Enbridge Energy, LLC Line 5 Relocation around the Bad River Reservation regarding the WDNR Wetland and Water Crossing Permits and the EIS Scoping Dear Mr. Callan, As a sovereign nation with regulatory authority over downstream waters within the Bad River Watershed, on-Reservation air quality, and an interest in the use and enjoyment of the sacred waters of Anishinaabeg-Gichigami, or Lake Superior, pursuant to treaties we signed with the United States, we submit our comments related to the potential Line 5 Reroute around the Bad River Reservation proposed by Enbridge Energy, LLC (henceforth, “company” or “applicant”). The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Tribe of Chippewa Indians (henceforth, “Tribe”) is a federally-recognized Indian Tribe centered on the northern shores of Wisconsin and Madeline Island, where the Bad River Indian Reservation is located, but the Tribe also retains interest in ceded lands in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. These lands were ceded to the United States government in the Treaties of 18371, 18422, and 18543. The proposed Line 5 Reroute falls within these ceded lands where the Tribe has retained usufructuary rights to use treaty resources. In addition, it threatens the water quality of the Tribe’s waters downstream, over which the Tribe has regulatory authority as a sovereign nation and as delegated by the federal government under the Clean Water Act.

  • 2. Blue Hills 2001
    Figure 1. Major landscape regions and extent of glaciation in Wisconsin. The most recent ice sheet, the Laurentide, was centered in northern Canada and stretched eastward to the Atlantic Ocean, north to the Arctic Ocean, west to Montana, and southward into the upper Midwest. Six lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet entered Wisconsin. Scale 1:500,000 10 0 10 20 30 PERHAPS IT TAKES A PRACTICED EYE to appreciate the landscapes of Wisconsin. To some, MILES Wisconsin landscapes lack drama—there are no skyscraping mountains, no monu- 10 0 10 20 30 40 50 mental canyons. But to others, drama lies in the more subtle beauty of prairie and KILOMETERS savanna, of rocky hillsides and rolling agricultural fi elds, of hillocks and hollows. Wisconsin Transverse Mercator Projection The origin of these contrasting landscapes can be traced back to their geologic heritage. North American Datum 1983, 1991 adjustment Wisconsin can be divided into three major regions on the basis of this heritage (fi g. 1). The fi rst region, the Driftless Area, appears never to have been overrun by glaciers and 2001 represents one of the most rugged landscapes in the state. This region, in southwestern Wisconsin, contains a well developed drainage network of stream valleys and ridges that form branching, tree-like patterns on the map. A second region— the northern and eastern parts of the state—was most recently glaciated by lobes of the Laurentide Ice Sheet, which reached its maximum extent about 20,000 years ago. Myriad hills, ridges, plains, and lakes characterize this region. A third region includes the central to western and south-central parts of the state that were glaciated during advances of earlier ice sheets.
