What was the Ho-chunk Indians famous for?

Answer 1

They are famous for being the mound builders. They would create large mounds that can be found in southern Wisconsin along both the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers. The mounds appear in the shapes of animals and birds and may be burial mounds.

They were also the most dominant tribe in the region and were known as "People of big speech" which means that they held the original language the surrounding tribes held, although somewhat different but similar in almost every way, They were also feirce warriors that when they were first discovered, Nicolet said that they ranged around 2,000 warriors which suggests that the population is around 5,000 or more, but it was'NT the numbers that made them feirce but rather their weapons, strength, and constant fights against other tribes.

They are also very patriotic that 11/12 clan leaders today are veterens of the Vietnam War, the Ho-Chunk tribe have also been in every single American war (EX: the ho-chunk fought against southerners in the civil war and won every battle they fought in with very little casualties.)
