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.

September is National Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
Identity labels are constantly changing. Americans with Latin American ancestry most commonly use "Hispanic" and "Latino" to describe themselves. Recently, "Latinx" has also become popular.
September 15th through October 15th is Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month - so we're taking this time to celebrate the cultures, histories, and contributions of individuals and communities with identities in Latin America and Spanish-speaking countries!
Readings + Resources
Check out the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Latino's bilingual materials for classroom learning and at-home activities. With background info, activities, vocabulary, and more, these resources are a way to learn about Latino and Hispanic heritage!
*Content warning: discussions about hurtful speech.
In this video, Ponce talks about identity, stereotypes, and contributions of Latinx and Hispanic individuals to American culture, politics, and the economy.
This Smithsonian exhibit, "Shaping the Nation," gives insights into how Latinos and Latinas build communities, fight for justice, and break boundaries. It's a must-see for this Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month!
