VERONA, Wis. — The flags of Wisconsin’s 12 Native American tribes were unveiled at Verona Area High School Monday.
A Ho-Chunk Nation elder, school staff and students spoke at the unveiling. The goal is to help make sure all students feel like they belong.
“It’s a story in itself, it’s a lesson in itself,” David O’Connor with the Wisconsin Department of Instruction said. “As you recognize each of these 12 nations in our state that have shaped Wisconsin both historically as well as contemporarily.”
The flags will be on permanent display at the school.
