The Ho-Chunk Village is located on a 40-acre site on the north edge of Winnebago, Nebraska. It is a unique blend of three design concepts:

New Urbanism – higher-density, mixed use to maximize capital expenditures and land base where availability of land is limited.

Active Living – encouraging the health and social benefits of creating a close-knit community through a design plan that encourages walking, biking and interaction among residents.

Cultural – integrating traditional Winnebago village concepts into the design with traditional placement of facilities and a cultural, central gathering place.

The Ho-Chunk Village civic development will includes 48,000 square feet of indoor public and service space with an outdoor cultural space in the Village center.

The commercial section will include 120,000 – 160,000 square feet for office, retail and llight industrial usage. The area will include a pedestrian-oriented “main street”; on street parking and a variety of retail shops and service businesses.

The residential area will include over 110 housing units featuring single home ownership, multi-family rental and live-work units.

In 2003, a significant portion of the Village infrastructure was completed. In 2004, construction was completed on two commercial buildings and the first portion of residential housing. In 2005, the AllNative.com building was completed, housing five businesses. 2006 saw completion of the Ho-Chunk Plaza building featuring space for six business enterprises on the ground floor and apartments on the second floor of the building. The Woodland Trails Building was also completed, housing an artist’s cooperative an retail store operations.

The Honoring The Clans Sculpture Garden was also dedicated in 2006. The Sculpture Garden features twelve life-size statues symbolizing each of the twelve clans of the Winnebago Tribe. Future plans include construction of biking and walking paths, additional housing and other commercial buildings.
