Quarterly Meeting

Indian Paths Lead to Ozaukee County Streets

OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
Monday, February 1, at 7:00 p.m.
Location:  Cedarburg Cultural Center
 
 Learn about Native American culture and history and the Indians of Wisconsin from a widely recognized expert on the subject, Richard J. Gonzalez M.A., at our Quarterly Meeting, Monday, February 1, at the Cedarburg Cultural Center. Discover answers to such questions as: Who are the Sauk Indians? What are the origins of Green Bay, Dekorah Roads and the Village of Saukville? How old is that arrowhead you brought along? And, hear about the direct genealogical link of our speaker to President George Washington.
 
Mr. Gonzalez, from Grafton, is a member of the Iroquois Confederation, Oneida Nation and Turtle Clan. Professionally, he has served as a member of the Board of Trustees, Cardinal Stritch University, Consultant at Marquette and an administrator at several Milwaukee initiatives. He also taught about Native Americans at MATC and is a board member of "Three Oaks", a federal housing entity serving Native American residents. A highlight of his career was serving on a committee for peace after 9/11 at the United Nations building; the session was chaired by Nabuyasu Abe, Under-secretary for Global Disarmament. 
 
The program will take place at the Cedarburg Cultural Center in downtown Cedarburg, with the OCHS business meeting at 7:00 p.m. and the presentation at 7:30 p.m. This event is free and open to the public; refreshments will be served
