Winnebago
As you will read about the
Winnebago tribe and see pictures of some of their culture and a few facts about
this tribe. Like that the tribe has a lake named after them.
The Winnebago have been
known to the whites since 1634, when the Frenchman Nicollet found them in
Wisconsin, on Green bay, at which time they probably extended to Lake Winnebago.
At this period they were found in the Central tribes, mostly by the Sauk and
Foxes and the Menominee. To the west they were in intimate contact with a
kindred tribe, and the Iowa, who in turn were neighbors of the Oto and Missouri.
In their material culture the Winnebago were distinctly timber people, and most
of their stuff was like the Sauk, houses, dress, are practically identical with
those of the Sauk and Foxes, Menominee, and others. The same goes to their bead
work, although there is evidence to show that they had a porcupine quill
industry not very long ago. The population was estimated at 1,750 in 1806. They
are taller than most Europeans. The Ho-Chunk, which means “Big Voice” were given
the name, Winnebago means “smelly or filthy water”. They were not given this
name as an insult, but because they lived near Lake Winnebago and this lake had
a very strong fish smell in the summer.
The climate change for the
Winnebago tribe would be that now, Lake Winnebago has blue-green algae on Lake
Winnebago now. Back when the French found the Winnebago tribe the water was
still clean they drank the water from the lake fished in the lake. Now there
would be no way they could do any of those things there might not be fish there,
the water would be way to dirty to drink. In conclusion if the Winnebago tribe
was still at lake Winnebago they would have a hard time living off the
land.
