Water Works
Millennial Thinking
Last episode on Water Works, we looked at the ways Milwaukee's first peoples articulated their deep admiration for the waters of the area through the effigy mounds they constructed in the time before European contact. This episode, we explore how Wisconsin's native communities sought to conserve and preserve their relationship with water in the era after white settlers began forcibly removing them from their land. The episode was produced by University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee public history student Elizabeth Loomer.
