Good morning, Whitewater
In our history today, from the Wisconsin Historical Society, on this day in 1825, a council was held to resolve differences between Native Americans and settlers:
“On this date a great council of Native Americans and white settlers was held at Prairie du Chien. For days prior to the event, canoe-loads of attendees converged from all directions and included members of the Sioux, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Chippewa, Ottawa, Potawatomi, Iowa, Sauk, and Fox tribes. The purpose of this gathering was to promote peace among the tribes and to establish boundaries for their territorial claims.”
The National Weather Service, predicts a high of 87 degrees and a patchy fog. The Farmers’ Almanac, predicts “becoming wet Great Lakes, followed by clearing.” Farmers’ Almanac predictions span a few days, so unless one thinks that the weather will be the same for a few days, they’re not even trying to describe each day’s weather.
There will be a Common Council meeting in Whitewater tonight, at 6:30 p.m. in our municipal building.
