You won't believe what they found near the Kwik Trip
So here's the deal— you know how sometimes you're just driving past a Kwik Trip, maybe grabbing a Glazer or something, and you don't really think about what's underneath all that asphalt? Well, down near Horicon, which isn't too far south from us, they're digging into something that's pretty wild. An archaeologist, along with the Ho-Chunk Nation, is investigating what they think might be an ancient Native American burial mound right there, practically in the shadow of a convenience store. Which is wild.
<h3>What's the Big Deal?</h3>
Yeah so, this isn't just some old pile of dirt. If it's a burial mound, it's a sacred site, and finding one so close to modern development, well, it really makes you think about the history that's all around us. For us here in Green Bay, with the Oneida Nation Casino and the Neville Public Museum always reminding us of the deep roots this land has, it really hits home. It's about respecting the past and making sure we understand whose land we're on, even when it's next to where you get your gas.
* This investigation could uncover significant historical findings. * It highlights the importance of preserving Native American heritage. * It really makes you look at every Kwik Trip a little differently, doesn't it?
It’s a reminder that Green Bay, and all of Wisconsin really, has layers of history beneath our feet, from the paper mills along the Fox River to the frozen bay in January. This isn't just about a potential mound; it's about what we value as a community and how we treat the stories embedded in our land.
Green Bay on the wire — cold hands, warm hearts, and Lombardis.
