Back in Circulation Again 2024

This on-campus tour examines the 12,000-plus years of human existence documented along the shores of Lake Mendota, particularly the history of the Ho-Chunk Nation, on whose ancestral land the university now sits. It is an award-winning, place-based walking tour that welcomes guests to learn about the First Nations of Wisconsin. Participants visit UW-Madison campus buildings, historical markers, and archaeological sites to discuss historic – and contemporary – relationships with First Nations.  The walking tour is not fully physically accessible due to sustained periods of walking over various terrain such as stairs and inclines in elevation (e.g., Bascom Hill). Participants are encouraged to dress for the weather and wear comfortable shoes. Photographs and/or recording of any type are not permitted during the tour.
