The last two days I had to consider why I am going to study GOM and her contribution to Ho Chunk history and actually write a piece about my pursuit for class. So, here is an excerpt:
My interest is to document Native American women's historical stories in an effort to preserve them for the benefit of the rising Native American generation, primarily young Ho Chunk women who continue to be underrepresented in many disciplines, have high high school drop out rates and teen pregnancy rates. These young women are the 5th generation of a people who were assimilated by the then dominant society and have lost or struggle with their cultural identity.
