Butch Artichoker, a descendant of Chief Aahucoga, speaks Monday during the celebration of Indigenous Peoples' Day of Sauk County in Reedsburg. The site of the local chamber of commerce and former train depot serves as a historical location for the county, when European settlers of the area pushed back against forced relocation of Ho-Chunk people by federal troops, specifically family members of Aahucoga, who they respected and admired and who had helped them when they first arrived in the region. Artichoker explained that when his father was sent to a boarding school for indigenous children, a white person misspelled his name, which led to jokes about the vegetable throughout his life.
