The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska is headquartered in Winnebago, Nebraska. Before the move to the reservation in Nebraska and Iowa, the tribe owned (by the treaty of 1846), a vast wilderness area in central Minnesota Territory, the Long Prairie Reservation. In 1990, 1,151 tribal members lived on the reservation. It is located in Thurston and Dixon counties, Nebraska, and Woodbury County, Iowa. The Winnebago Reservation was established by a treaty on March 8, 1865. Their language is part of the Siouan family. Tribe members often refer to themselves as Hochungra – 'People of the Parent Speech'. The other is the Ho-Chunk Nation of Wisconsin. The Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska ( Ho-Chunk: Nįįšoc Hoocąk) is one of two federally recognized tribes of Ho-Chunk Native Americans.

My goal and focus has always been to protect and provide for the Tribe’s greatest resource– our Native children.Ī little personal about me is that living in Montana for a majority of my life has allowed me to appreciate the outdoors and nature. I am beyond excited to embark on this new opportunity to complete my practicum with Nebraska Indian Child Welfare Coalition. I am obtaining a Master’s in Social Work at the University of Montana. I am also in my last year of graduate school. I work for the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes as the Foster Care Licensor Supervisor.

The Flathead Indian Reservation consists of the Kootenai, Salish, and Pend d’Oreilles. I am a member of the Diné Tribe but reside in Polson, MT on the Flathead Indian Reservation. I was born for the Redhouse people and born to the White people.
