During November (Native American Heritage Month), about two dozen campus volunteers, including Brian McInnes and Marianne Fairbanks, assisted Bill Quackenbush, tribal historic preservation officer for the Ho-Chunk Nation, in constructing a Ho-Chunk housing structure on the North Lawn of Dejope Residence Hall on the UW–Madison campus. The dwelling, called a ciiporoke (chee-poe-doe-kay), has long been a place of home, family, community, teaching and learning in the Ho-Chunk culture and remains an essential part of Ho-Chunk life.
