One day (the Foxes) said, "Turn over to us those Menominee who have married into your tribe. We are longing for some Menominee soup. If you give these (men) to us, we will let up on you." The two Menominee among the Winnebago were great warriors and it was for them that (the Foxes) were asking. These Menominee talked to one another and the one who spoke first said, "It is a hard thing to be a son-in-law in a tribe not your own, my father used to say to me. Whenever the members of the tribe are in difficulties, and they wish to save themselves they turn (their attention to the strangers among them)." "Thusitis," (said the other) "butthey may sacrifice me." "My friend, I feel the same way about it, just as my father told me. I spoke to you because I thought that you might dread it."

| Description | Wisconsin Indians preserved their history the same way the ancient Greeks preserved Homer's Iliad and Odyssey: in a carefully maintained oral tradition. Around campfires on starry summer nights and inside lodges during long winter ones, they made sure that each new generation understood and could recite their heritage. The document linked below is a Ho-Chunk oral tradition describing some of their military engagements with the rival Meskwaki (Fox) during the 18th century. It was passed generation to generation for nearly 200 years before tribal stewards decided to share it in 1908 with anthropologist Paul Radin. Each paragraph is first given in Ho-Chunk, as transcribed by Radin, followed by its English translation. This is one of several works in or about American Indian languages to be found at Turning Points in Wisconsin History. Readers should note that this is a historical document rather than a modern one, and that it was produced by a white observer rather than a native speaker; students wishing to study the language should rely on materials produced by the tribal language office. |
