About this record
The Ho-Chunk long recalled their first encounters with the Europeans who arrived so unexpectedly in the seventeenth century. Their memories of these meetings were passed down verbally from parent to child for eight or nine generations, and told to visiting anthropologist Paul Radin during the years 1908-1913.Citation
