Scope and content This collection of 8 documents on the Winnebago and Ho-Chunk covers a time span from approximately 1620 to the late twentieth century. The primary work in this collection is Radin, which provides a detailed ethnography of the Winnebago/Ho-Chunk from the early seventeenth century to 1913. This material is supplemented by the summary of Winnebago/Ho-Chunk culture history by Lurie, which covers the early period described by Radin, and expands coverage up to 1978. This document discusses the fur trade period, treaties and land cessions between the U.S. government and the Nebraska and Wisconsin branches as two separate entities of the tribe, and post-World War II economic conditions. Other major topics include culture change and cultural stability among the Wisconsin Winnebago/Ho-Chunk in 1944 and the status of the berdache in Winnebago/Ho-Chunk society. Radin attempts to show how three marked characteristics of Winnebago/Ho-Chunk civilization - the conservation of old cultural elements, the receptivity to new ideas, and the capacity for making new integrations - interact with one another to create new culture patterns in the Winnebago/Ho-Chunk milieu. Hill, based on ethno-historical research, is a study of the drinking practices of the Winnebago/Ho-Chunk from the early 1860s to the early 1920s, relating these practices to the changing socio-cultural environment. The major focus in this work is on the manner in which the Peyote religion helped control excessive drinking. Richards' paper concentrates on the Winnebago/Ho-Chunk during the late prehistoric and early historic period, with particular emphasis on subsistence. The Astor site in Green Bay, Wisconsin is suggested as a potential link between the prehistoric/historic Winnebago/Ho-Chunk and limited subsistence information from the site is examined in that light.
