Homeowner. Non-Native.

As a homeowner in Madison, what responsibilities do I have, relative to the original, Ho-Chunk inhabitants of the area? Don't know. But the State of Wisconsin thinks I own the land.

That's not a real problem. The solution to complex evils (like the European conquest of North America and the subsequent settlement here by Europe's outcasts and peasants) is rarely to run away from the problem, but to meet it head-on.

Accordingly, I think I will try to find out as much of the history of this plot of land and the surrounding neighborhood as possible.
