The 2025 Assembly Joint Resolution 113, introduced by a bipartisan group of representatives and senators, seeks to officially recognize the second Monday in October as Indigenous Peoples Day in Wisconsin. This resolution acknowledges the historical and contemporary significance of Indigenous nations in the state, 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 Wisconsin's culture, economy, and community life.

The resolution emphasizes the state'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 Wisconsin State Legislature aims to promote appreciation, solidarity, and reconciliation among all residents, encouraging reflection on the experiences of Indigenous peoples and a commitment to equity and partnership for a shared future.
