Ana and Eric welcome Robert Reider to The Cabin, Mr Reider is Senior Marketing Director for the Ho-Chunk Nation - and a pro golfer to boot! Along with some golf discussion, a major topic is Truman Lowe, whose story was profiled by Discover Wisconsin. The story recently won an Emmy at the 65th Annual Chicago/Midwest Emmy Awards for their digital short titled “Exploring the Artistic Process of Truman Lowe.” The video tells a phenomenal story of the Ho-Chunk artist, Truman Lowe and his inspirational impact on other Natives and community members. Eric, Ana, and Robert also dive into how the Ho-Chunk government operates as an independent entity, right down to license plates and school systems. They discuss how they preserve and pass on tribal traditions, including an educational system that teaches the Ho-Chunk language to new generations. They also discuss how economics are driving the future from casino operations to artistic endeavors and small business, and the impact of notable natives like Truman Lowe. It’s a fascinating look at how a Native American government and society operates within - and occasionally independent of - the larger society here in Wisconsin. Join in on this fascinating campfire conversation and discover more about the Ho-Chunk Nation. Ho-Chunk Nation main site: https://ho-chunknation.com/Emmy award-winning video about Truman Lowe: https://youtu.be/oBltTFXKNLw
