View comments (edit) Good basic start but really a stub[....]Needs expansion, language article is Winnebago language --Skookum1, 12 May 2006 Has improved since Skookum's assesment last May. Now has more references, and more fleshed-out sections. It's got a ways to go, but it doesn't qualify as a stub anymore --Miskwito 00:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

I feel that the article Ho-Chunk Casino should be merged with Ho-Chunk as their is very little information pertaining to the casino and therefore, I do not feel that it is substantial enough to stand alone. T. White 09:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

No. It warrants it's own article. -- Al™ 15:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Why? --Miskwito 03:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The Ho-Chunk Casino is not the same as the Ho-Chunks. Don't merge, but expand the Casino article. I suspect it will always be short — when compared to Caesars Palace article — but the current Casino article falls way short and needs some beefing-up. CJLippert 01:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes it should be merged. There is only one sentence on the page. Flaflafooey 01:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge asap.--Tainter 22:13, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Against. The Ho-Chunk Casino is specifically notable as an economic institution in Wisconsin. The Ho-Chunk are a people with their own identity extending beyond the casino. Each is uniquely notable and requires their own article. In this case it is not so much the case of quantity of information, but notability of the subject. – Freechild (BoomCha) 21:52, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rock of Mystery

I figure this is the place to ask... Could someone check Ho chunk rock of mystery? It looks like nonsense to me, but I could be wrong. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 23:14, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska external link

I modified the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska external website a little,so it would more clearer that there are 2 websites for the 2 Ho-Chunk/Winnebago nation.Thank you-RFD 17:39, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stinkards? Stinking water?

Was there any reason for these refrences to thier odor? Did the engage in some ritual or coat thier bodies in something with an unpleasant smell? Or is this just a fun way for thier rivals to insult them? Eno-Etile 02:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

In the Ojibwe language the term wiinibiigoo means "those of stagnant waters", which often refers to a bayou that can be quite smelly. However, these stagnant waters were quite important to not only the Ho-chunks but also to the Menomini and others because of Wild rice growth patterns. Green Bay, Wisconsin on older French maps was called "Baie des Puants" after the Ho-chunks and other areas with similar names are Lake Winnibigoshish, Lake Winnipeg and Lake Winnipegosis.

[edit] Joba Chamberlain

Should Joba Chamberlain (the incredibly highly touted pitching prospect for the Yankees) be included in Famous Ho-Chunk people?
