A BREACH OF TRUST: ROCK-KOSHKONONG LAKE DISTRICT V. STATE DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND WISCONSIN’S PUBLIC TRUST DOCTRINE Wisconsin has a particularly notable tradition of using the public trust doctrine aggressively to protect the state’s natural resources. The general thrust of the doctrine’s evolution in Wisconsin has been expansion beyond the doctrine’s traditional application to waters navigable for commercial purposes. Emblematic of such expansion is the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s decision in Just v. Marinette County, which scholars have characterized as a landmark extension of the public trust doctrine to non- navigable wetlands adjacent to navigable waters. In light of this tradition, it is unsurprising that the Wisconsin Supreme Court’s recent pronouncement that the Department of Natural Resources lacked public trust jurisdiction to regulate privately-owned wetlands adjacent to a navigable lake provoked strong reactions, not only by commentators but also by certain members of the court.

  • Gazette Close-Up: Lake Koshkonong History
    Gazette Close-Up: Lake Koshkonong history Lake Koshkonong history Compiled by The Janesville Gazette Paleo Indians inhabited the Koshkonong area as long ago as 12,000 years. Evidence these early Indians was found by archaeologists from Beloit College in 1965 at the Kutz Site. The site is a field across the Rock River from Fort Atkinson. -- Hugh Highsmith, "The Mounds of Koshkonong and Rock River." Mound builders might have lived on the shore of Lake Koshkonong as early at 2500 B.C. They were supplanted by the Winnebago, Potawotomi, Sauk, Fox and Menominee -- Hannah Swart, "Koshkonong Country Revisited." White Crow's (Winnebago) village was at Carcajou Point. In the early 1800s, it was the largest Indian settlement in Wisconsin. - - Swart. "By 1895, the Indian, as a permanent resident of the lake, disappeared, although bands continued to return for the purposes of trapping and fishing." -- "Early History of Lake Koshkonong," W.H. Bill Rogers. "The last Indian burial was in the spring of 1894, when the little son of Moses Decorah died. For several nights before and after the death of the child, the old trees that line the banks of Koshkonong Creek and stand sentinel over the abandoned village echoed the death song of perhaps the last Indian ... For a burial casket, they cut in two one of their canoes, in which little Mose Decorah now sleeps in the Sumner Cemetery." -- Rogers. Fur traders visited Koshkonong earlier. But the first traveler to leave a historical record was Charles Gautier de Verville in 1778. Gautier de Verville traveled from Green Bay, which was already settled.

  • 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.

  • Chapter 9, Environmental Consequences - Cultural Lake Koshkonong EA
    Chapter 9, Environmental Consequences - Cultural Lake Koshkonong EA Environmental Consequences Physical Erosion Due to the combined effects of ever-increasing water levels and the loss of aquatic plants, erosion of the wetlands and some adjacent uplands has been a problem for at least the last 50 years. RKLD and other citizens have recognized this problem and have attempted to deal with this by “armoring” part of the shoreline. The majority of these projects have included riprap armor (Figures 43 and 44) of wetland shoreland areas that have been eroded and lost over time. Figure 43. 6/13/03; USGS Gage - 776.31 msl; top of riprap protection at Carcajou Shallow Marsh at outside Figure 44. Carcajou Shallow Marsh Date: 5/13/2003 Water corner of riprap lakeward from opening behind Carcajou Elevation: 777.30 msl. Shallow Marsh. Elevation near top of rock is 777.48 msl. During 2002 and 2003, the RKLD worked cooperatively with wetland owners to protect approximately 38% or 4.7 miles of the 12.5 miles of wetland shoreline. In 2001 Act 16, the Legislature granted authorization to the District for a Lake Koshkonong Comprehensive Project (Table 2). Act 16 recognized the placement of breakwater structures was another suitable management approach to prevent wetland losses resulting from wind and seasonal flood conditions. RKLD is also currently involved with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) in an Ecosystem Restoration Program (under Section 206 of the Water Resources Act) to further restore and protect wetlands and near-shore shallow water areas. The ACOE has identified several places in Lake Koshkonong where off shore breakwaters could provide protected habitat for plants and aquatic life.

Supplementary Notes Prepared in cooperation vith the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 16. Abstracts The reaeration capacity of the Rock River from Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin, to Rockton, Illinois, was determined using the energy-dissipation model. The model was calibrated using data from radioactive-tracer measurements in the study reach. Reaeration coefficients (Kg) were computed for the annual minimum 7-day mean discharge that occurs on the average of once in 10 years (Qj IQ)- A time-of-travel model was developed using river discharge, slope, and velocity data from three dye studies. The model was used to estimate traveltime for the 0,7,10 for use in the energy-dissipation model. During one radiotracer study, 17 mile per hour winds apparently increased the reaeration coefficient time about Uo times.

  • WI SHPO CRMP Volume 1 Historic Indians
    OVERVIEW WISCONSIN'S INDIANS SINCE 1634 (Reprinted from Wisconsin Historic Preservation Plan, Vol. 1, 1975 by John O. Holzhueter) (When this brief summary was written in 1975, the new interpretations of the fur trade suggested by Bruce Trigger, W. J. Eccles, and Conrad Heidenreich were not yet generally available, and Calvin Martin was just making known his ideas about animal biology and cultural anthropology. Their approaches reflected to a large extent the then new work of Anthony F. C. Wallace about the Black Hawk War: all parties' points of view considered, along with as much background as needed to understand them. These and other scholars have painstakingly re-examined the European-created literature and the oral traditions from the proto-historic and historic periods, and have generally concluded that Indians along the Upper Creat Lakes considered themselves firmly in charge of the area and superior in most ways to the newcomers. The Indians attitude was not lost on the few non-Indians who then lived in Canada and along the Upper Great Lakes. W. J. Eccles suggests, in fact, that maintaining harmonious relations with the tribes and outmaneuvering rival European nations--diplomacy--were more important goals for the visitors than the fur trade. Likewise, Indian tribes used the fur trade as a diplomatic tool among thelnselves and with the Europeans. Putting the long-dominant economic and exploration motive lower on the list of European motivation than diplomacy seems more logical in 1985 than it did in 1975. Seen in terms of diplomacy, the ebb and flow of people across Wisconsin from about 1600 to 1854 becomes quite a different story than one presented below.) Historians often begin the tale of Wisconsin's Indians with Christopher Columbus, move forward to the exploratory and colonial policies of various western European nations, and then specifically discuss France's activity along the St.
