The University of Wisconsin–Madison occupies ancestral Ho-Chunk land, a place their nation has called Teejop (day-JOPE)
since time immemorial. In an 1832 treaty, the Ho-Chunk were forced to cede this territory. Decades of ethnic cleansing followed when both the federal and state government repeatedly, but unsuccessfully, sought to forcibly remove the Ho-Chunk from Wisconsin. This history of colonization informs our shared future of collaboration and innovation. Today, UW–Madison respects the inherent sovereignty of the Ho-Chunk Nation, along with the eleven other First Nations of Wisconsin.

July is Disability Pride Month
This month we're celebrating Disability Pride Month so we can better promote inclusivity, accessibility, and equality for everyone. For many, disability pride is about reclaiming visibility, interacting fully with disabilities as an integral aspect of one's identity, and rejecting internalized ableism.
Below, you will find resources to help us understand disability pride and embrace the diversity of dis/abilities.
Readings + Resources
