Paintings inspired after I had
attended a presentation at Perrot State Park late this summer lead by
Elliot Funmaker of the Ho-Chunk Nation. He did a Blessing of the Drum
Ceremony, then his wife and granddaughter demonstrated some of the
dances. I hope I have portrayed them with the utmost respect and
appreciation of the Ho-Chunk Nations contributions and sacrifices.
