Casey Brown and his father spoke at the May Parks Commission meeting. Aaron Bird Bear, a former UW-Madison director of tribal relations who created the university’s Indigenous land landscape tour, also appeared and spoke about mounds in Madison more broadly.

Brown, who graduated from UW-Madison and is familiar with local politics, said he has never seen a meeting turn around the way this one did.
