Winnebago
family | Winnebago, Native North Americans
whose language belongs to the Siouan branch of the Hokan-Siouan linguistic stock
(see Native American languages). When Father Jean Nicolet encountered them
(1634), the Winnebago lived in E Wisconsin, from Green Bay to Lake Winnebago.
Except for a war with the Illinois (1671) and one with the Ojibwa (1827), the
Winnebago generally were peaceful toward their neighbors, who included the
Menominee, the Sac and Fox, and the Ottawa. The Winnebago traded with, and were
staunch supporters of, the French. After the fall of French power, however, they
allied themselves with the British; they fought against the colonists in the
American Revolution and in the War of 1812. The Winnebago clandestinely
participated in the Black Hawk War (1832). After numerous hardships and much
loss of population, they were settled on reservations in Nebraska (1860s) and
Wisconsin (1880s). Winnebago culture was of the Eastern Woodlands cultural area
with some Plains-area traits (see under Natives, North American). Their many
ceremonies were elaborate, e.g., the spring buffalo dance and the winter feast;
many Winnebago continue to follow their traditional religion. The tribe now
operates several gambling casinos in Wisconsin and is among the larger employers
in that state. In 1990 there were over 6,500 Winnebago in the United States.
