The Wisconsin State Legislature has introduced Senate Joint Resolution 108, which seeks to officially recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day. This resolution acknowledges the historical and contemporary significance of Indigenous nations in Wisconsin, including the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi, among others. It highlights the painful history of dispossession and injustice faced by Indigenous peoples, while also celebrating their resilience and contributions to the state's culture, economy, and community life.

The resolution emphasizes Wisconsin's responsibility to eliminate discrimination against Indigenous peoples and to foster genuine government-to-government relationships with tribal nations. By designating Indigenous Peoples Day, the legislature aims to promote appreciation, solidarity, and reconciliation among all residents of Wisconsin, encouraging reflection on the experiences of Indigenous peoples and a commitment to equity and partnership moving forward.
