Years ago a Sacred Lake in central Wisconsin was renamed "Devils Lake". This is not the true name of this place. Spirit Lake is the closest English version of the Ho-Chunk name for the lake, Tawacunchukdah, roughly translated, meaning "Spirit", "Sacred", or "Holy" Lake. Part of healing the past for this area, as well as honoring this special place, is recognizing and using the proper names. Let us start by signing this petition to show that we recognize the importance of this change. By signing this petition you are supporting the name change of what is currently recognized as "Devils Lake" to "Tawacunchukdah" (Spirit Lake). Thank You.
