Talk:Ho-Chunk

message: I feel that the article Ho-Chunk Casino should be merged with Ho-Chunk as their is very little information pertaining to the casino and therefore, I do not feel that it is substantial enough to stand alone.  T. White 09:15, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The Ho-Chunk Casino is not the same as the Ho-Chunks.  Don't merge, but expand the Casino article.  I suspect it will always be short — when compared to Caesars Palace article — but the current Casino article falls way short and needs some beefing-up. CJLippert 01:36, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: In the Ojibwe language the term wiinibiigoo means "those of stagnant waters", which often refers to a bayou that can be quite smelly.  However, these stagnant waters were quite important to not only the Ho-chunks but also to the Menomini and others because of Wild rice growth patterns.  Green Bay, Wisconsin on older French maps was called "Baie des Puants" after the Ho-chunks and other areas with similar names are Lake Winnibigoshish, Lake Winnipeg and Lake Winnipegosis.

replies: text: Shouldn't the translation be 'smelly water' rather than 'stinking'? If it's not supposed to carry negative connotations? DavidFarmbrough (talk) 15:57, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: From Ojibwe Wiinibiigoo (“Winnebago person”), from wiinibiig (“murky water”) (of Lake Winnipeg), from wiini’ (“to make someone dirty”), wiinad (“it is dirty”), plus nibi (“water”), plural nibig (“waters”). https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Winnebago--Manfariel (talk) 02:21, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The "Stinkard" thing is a strange misconception. "Pwan" or "bwan" is literally Ojibwe for "Sioux" or "enemy," which is what Ojibwe-related folks called Sioux-related folks. Ho-Chunk (formerly Winnebago) people speak a so-called "Siouan" language. Baie des Puants means Bay of the Sioux, not Smelly Bay ;) Ah well.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.92.192.126 (talk) 21:13, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking that a little girl in a leopard suit may not be the best representation of the Ho-Chunk that we can find. I'd like to choose a more encyclopedic image. Does anyone agree? Somnambulent (talk) 19:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
