Ho-Chunk peoples have lived in this region for an estimated 12,000 years, and the Ho-Chunk Nation currently owns land in 14 counties in Wisconsin, including Dane County. For today’s show, guest host Ron Luskin is joined by Dan Brown, executive manager at Ho-Chunk Gaming Madison and former vice president of the Ho-Chunk Nation, to discuss Ho-Chunk history, culture, and development plans for a cultural center and expanded facilities adjacent to the casino along Highway 12/18.
We at A Public Affair acknowledge that we are on traditional Ho-Chunk territory and nearby sacred burial sites.
