威斯康星州定11月为原住民遗产月：全州有12个原住民族群
威斯康星州州长 Tony Evers 10月29日在州府 Madison 签署公告，宣布2026年11月为威斯康星州原住民遗产月，请全州居民共同纪念。公告写道，原住民自远古以来就生活在这片大陆上，在威斯康星州和美国建立之前就为这片土地的成长、繁荣和身份认同作出贡献。
公告列了两组全国数字：2020年人口普查显示，全美有970万人自认是美国印第安人或阿拉斯加原住民；据印第安事务局统计，目前有575个获联邦承认的原住民族群。威斯康星州境内有12个原住民族群，包括 Ho-Chunk Nation、Oneida Nation、Menominee Indian Tribe 和苏必利尔湖奇佩瓦人的多个部落。
公告肯定原住民族群的韧性：他们保存了各自独特的文化、语言和传统，是带动地区经济的重要雇主，也在各级政府中担任领导角色。州政府同时重申，尊重每个原住民族群的主权、文化、遗产和条约权利。
遗产月里，州政府鼓励所有威斯康星人去了解原住民历史，包括每个部落各不相同的文化、语言和传统，也去认识原住民在今天的威斯康星州和全美各地的贡献。公告由州长签署、州务卿 Sarah Godlewski 副署，已在州议会大厦用印生效。（来源：威斯康星州州长办公室）
Wisconsin Proclaims November Native American Heritage Month: 12 Native Nations Call the State Home
Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed a proclamation at the Capitol in Madison on October 29 declaring November 2026 as Native American Heritage Month throughout Wisconsin, and commending the observance to all state residents. Native Americans have inhabited the continent since time immemorial and contributed to the growth, prosperity and identity of Wisconsin and the United States from before its inception, the proclamation says.
It cites two national figures: the 2020 U.S. Census reports that 9.7 million people across the country identify as American Indian and Alaska Native, and according to the Bureau of Indian Affairs there are currently 575 federally recognized Native Nations. Wisconsin is home to 12 Native Nations, including the Ho-Chunk Nation, the Oneida Nation, the Menominee Indian Tribe and several Bands of Lake Superior Chippewa.
The proclamation celebrates the resilience of the Native Nations, which have preserved their unique cultures, languages and traditions, serve as major employers that grow regional economies, and hold leadership roles at all levels of government. The state also reaffirms its commitment to respecting the sovereignty, culture, heritage and treaty rights of each Native Nation.
During the month, the state encourages all Wisconsinites to learn about Native American history, including the rich and diverse cultures, languages and traditions unique to each Tribe, and to recognize the contemporary contributions of Native Americans in Wisconsin and across the country. The proclamation was signed by the governor and attested by Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski. (Source: Office of the Governor of Wisconsin)
