Lake Kegonsa State Park occupies ancestral, sacred and continuously inhabited Ho-Chunk land. This four lakes region has been known to the Ho-Chunk people as Teejop (day-JOPE) since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede their territory east of the Mississippi River which includes the land we stand on right now. The trees we stand under, the bursting life all around is not mine, or yours, it is and remains Ho-Chunk land. We acknowledge and extend our deep sorrow and regret for the role our colonial ancestors had in the forced removal of the Ho-Chunk people from this land. We honor the legacy and resilience of those Ho-Chunk people who resisted removal and have since returned to their native land. The history of colonization informs my work and vision for a collaborative future; one in which Ho-chunk people are consulted first when honoring and acknowledging the land; one that ensures land acknowledgement as just the beginning of a long overdue process of honoring and celebration of the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk nation and the 11 additional Indigenous Nations within what is now referred to as the State of Wisconsin.
