Hiinuk and the Walnut Tree: Generational Knowledge Production and the Ho-Chunk Fable

Research Projects

2025 CNAIS concentrator Ma’iingan Wolf Garvin's capstone project was an illustrated children's storybook based on the Hoocąk (Ho-Chunk language) fable “The Woman and the Walnut Tree.” The storybook has 15 illustrations across 20 pages, with text in Hoocąk and an English translation at the end, and will serve as a language-learning resource for Ma’iingan’s tribe.
