#5 - Emma Big Bear
After her relatives left for the reservation in Wisconsin, Emma Big Bear Holt stayed
by her beloved Mississippi River, making beatiful baskets and jewelry
for a living. She is a direct descendant of Chief Decorah of the Winnebagos
which are now called Ho-Chunk. Part of her home is still preserved
at The Winery in Marquette, Iowa.
