The tour, on Nov. 12, enabled participants to walk the same ceremonial grounds that Woodland Period people had built and considered sacred. Located in western Waushara County on a narrow isthmus between Fish and Hancock Lakes, the site was an ideal place for broadcasting the trance-producing acoustic rhythm of sacred dance (stomp, chant and drum beat) so that it could have been dramatically heard across both lakes and far into the surrounding forestry during clan gatherings.
