Bago Bits… May 5th was National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered
Indigenous Women and Girls. This day is for tribal communities to
remember our strong Native women and bring awareness to this
crisis.
On May 4th, the old halfway house was
demolished by our Tribal Roads Depart-
ment. The building was over 100 years
old; construction on a new halfway house
will begin soon.
A huge THANK YOU to all the tribal
security guards that are implementing
the new policy that requires a face mask
must be worn to enter local businesses.
No Mask, No Service!
During a home basketball game on January 10th, the Winnebago Indian cheerleaders held a tribute to raise awareness for our Missing and
Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW). Photo credits belong to Trina Solomon.
Although the graduation ceremony has
been postponed to August 1st, families
of the WPS graduates came together to
honor the class of 2020 with a drive by
parade throughout the community! Photo

On the afternoon of May 9th, families of
the graduates decorated their front lawns
to celebrate for the class of 2020 drive
