“Mapping Dejope” project seeks to bring indigenous history at UW to the forefront

A new project led by professors at the University of Wisconsin plans to take student learning outside of the classroom by making the campus’ native history available digitally. The project called “Mapping Dejope”, after the name given to the Madison area by the Ho-chunk people to mean four lakes, will highlight sites on the UW campus especially linked to indigenous history via an app or website.
