As of June 22, staff at the Office of the General Council
report they have not received confirmation that any contracts have been
signed. The one finalized detail is that
the 2022 Annual Meeting of General Council will be held on July 30 at Warner
Park in Madison, Wisc. The quorum is
currently estimated at 1,237.
The elders will have options available to them at the
venue. Elders can be dropped off at the
back entrance and will have their own registration lines. Seating for elders is in the Duck Blind Club
and the second level has a climate-controlled suite with limited seating.
The venue permits families to bring pop-up canopies and
their lawn chairs.
Ho-Chunk Nation departments, divisions, or programs who wish
to set up informational booths should contact Robin Blackdeer at robin.blackdeer@ho-chunk.com
before July 1.
The Department of Administration, Information Technology
(IT) Division is scheduled to complete registration and assist with technical
support.
Registration opens at 8:00 am. Participants must have a valid tribal ID or
enrollment verification to register.
The Enrollment Department plans to be on-site to offer
Tribal IDs until a quorum is met. Enrollment
verifications will be provided to tribal members after a quorum is met. However, only voting-age tribal IDs will be processed
at the event. The cost is $20 (cash,
money order, or money gram), and you are required to provide one of the
following: state driver’s license, state ID, passport, expired tribal ID, or
certified birth certificate. Contact enrollmentinfo@ho-chunk.com to
set up a tribal ID appointment in the weeks prior to the Annual Meeting of the
General Council date.
Email proposed General Council Resolutions to GCB@ho-chunk.com as soon as possible.
