In the Ho-Chunk language, Dejope means \u201cFour Lakes,\u201d which describes this area that include Lakes; Mendota, Monona, Waubesa and Kegonsa.&nbsp; In 2012 the U-W Division of University Housing worked with the Ho-Chunk Nation on a name for the new residence hall, because this area was home to the Ho-Chunk for thousands of years. The Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature passed a resolution allowing the University of Wisconsin to use Dejope as the residence hall\u2019s name as a way to provide an opportunity to share with others the history of the area and of the Ho Chunk Nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Can-UW-tour-IMG_0418se\u00b5\u00bc.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/studentstories\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/30\/2014\/07\/Can-UW-tour-IMG_0418se\u00b5\u00bc.jpg\" alt=\"Can UW tour IMG_0418s\u00eb\u00bb\u00b5\u00a3\u00bc\" class=\"wp-image-4923\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A brief walking tour of other sites on campus concludes with lunch, kindly provided by our U-W hosts.
