USACE and Stockbridge-Munsee Community Collaborate to Improve Fish Passage in Wisconsin Watershed

Fish Biologist Alex Catalano and Biologist Andrew Miller, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Chicago District, recently joined forces with the Stockbridge-Munsee Community (SMC) Ecology Department to evaluate the impact of road culverts on Aquatic Organism Passage (AOP) in the West Branch of the Red River near Bowler, Wisconsin. The collaborative effort, combining local ecological knowledge and federal technical expertise, aims to determine whether two culverts are restricting fish movement — and if so, prioritize solutions that improve connectivity across the watershed.

Culverts can unintentionally block fish from accessing upstream habitats needed for feeding, spawning, and seeking refuge from heat and predators. These barriers can severely affect fish populations and reduce the overall health and resilience of aquatic ecosystems.

To monitor fish passage, the team employed electrofishing to safely capture Brook Trout and White Suckers, both selected due to their ability to make large migrations.

“Brook Trout are also a culturally and recreationally important species to the SMC and local community,” Catalano says.

The fish were then implanted with Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT) tags—small microchips similar to those used to identify pets—which allow researchers to track their movement through the stream system.

Antennas were installed upstream and downstream of the culverts to detect PIT-tagged fish as they pass through. In addition to internal PIT tags, fish were also externally tagged to make them identifiable to anglers.

Data collected from this study will help identify which culverts in the West Branch Red River Watershed are most in need of replacement or redesign. The ultimate goal is to reconnect fragmented habitat to sustain fish populations faced with increasing threats.

Although this is USACE, Chicago District’s first study in the area, similar studies are being conducted involving culvert removals by other state and federal agencies.

“AOP barriers at road…

Standing Bear Council July Meeting Sunday, July 6

Standing Bear Council will host its July membership meeting on Sunday, July 6, at 1 p.m. at the Hawkeye Restaurant, 105 N. Park Dr., Keokuk, Iowa. Those wishing to eat are encouraged to come at noon.

Standing Bear Council meetings and membership are open to all people– Native and non-Native.

Standing Bear Council Elder, Jerry Starr, will continue to speak on how to listen to the drum and the sacred aspects of the drum and drumming. The drum is the “heartbeat” of gatherings and powwows, a vital reminder of Native Americans’ resilience, strength and survival despite centuries-long persecution and upheaval, and of their bond with ancestral lands. He will be joined by Karen Sparrow.

Following the presentation, the meeting will focus on reviewing the program at the Montrose Health Center on June 10, the presentation at the Hamilton Public Library on June 12, the program for the Carthage Public Library on June 23, the presentation at the Keokuk Public Library July 2, and the blessing ceremony at the future Puck-e-she-tuck Native Garden in Keokuk. The Keokuk Historic Commission named the garden, which means “foot of the rapids,” and asked Standing Bear Council to participate.

The garden is at the site of the former Benjamin Bawdin home, constructed in the mid-19th century– circa 1847– and Keokuk’s oldest residence and last standing handmade frontier house until it was deconstructed and put into storage; a frame of the house with a roof– a “ghost structure” will be built in the near future. The home was located in what was once the “Half-Breed Tract,” a 119,000-acre tract of land housing people of mixed (Native American– especially Sauk and Fox– and European) heritage.

Grant applications and the Winter Gathering will be discussed. The Council will coordinate speakers and topics for educational programs during the membership meetings.

Standing Bear Council is a…

Shannon Holsey on tribal community clinics and nutrition

Shannon Holsey on impacts of tribal health clinics and the Tribal Elder Food Box program.

ICT News

President Shannon Holsey:
In our dental department, we currently have — I think — 1,500 patients, which is pretty a large operation, so it’s multifaceted in its approach. People are very, very reliant on our health care clinic to provide basic health care to them. So, our health care system has been in operation for a long time. We have expanded and we continue to expand. Right behind our health care clinic we also have a assisted living center that can house up to 36 of our tribal elders and community members, so our operations are expanding.

Erica Ayisi:
I know some of the tribes have Tribal Elder Food Boxes and other community-based, food-based programs to provide Indigenous food to the elder community. Does Stockbridge-Munsee have a similar program, and if so, with USDA cuts, how has that been impacted?

President Shannon Holsey:
Yes, it is. So, it impacts every tribe in Wisconsin. We all participate in this USDA food box program, and it’s scheduled to be cut as of the fall. We have solicited additional dollars to continue it, because we know that it has had positive impact. It’s…
