Women’s History Month Series: Episode 2 — Lillian “Red Wing” St. Cyr

This Women’s History Month, we honor the strength, leadership, and resilience of Ho-Chunk women, past and present.

Lillian St. Cyr walked in spaces not built for her and still made history. From the Winnebago Reservation to early Hollywood, she carried herself with strength, talent, and pride in who she was.

She didn’t just act, she created, advocated, and uplifted our people every step of the way.

Her legacy reminds us that Ho-Chunk women have always been at the forefront, leading, creating change, and taking up space exactly as we are, without apology.

May we follow that path, unafraid to rise, to be seen, and to remember that we were never meant to stay small.

Tune in every Friday this March for a new episode honoring Ho-Chunk women who shaped our past and continue to inspire our future.
