The Brothertown Indian Nation Veterans participated in the Appleton 74th Annual Flag Day Parade on Saturday. Mike Pelky was not able to join us, but had every detail orchestrated perfectly for us. We were met with much applause, waving American flags and words of thanks and appreciation along the parade route. We were honored to be among the 92 organizations also in attendance. Special thanks to Dawn and Dave, our drivers, Hector and Reese, for their assistance; BINCC for lending us necessary items; Bay Trailer Depot for sponsoring the trailer; and the BIN Veterans who attended and represented our past, present, and future Veteran community. Finally, thanks go out to Mike Pelky and his family for making the medallions for both sides of the float.

The Brothertown Indian Nation appreciates all the Brothertown Veterans for their efforts and representing out Tribe and all those members ancestors who served since the Revolution through today. The Veterans also appreciated our Brothertown Tribal Family who also turned out to support our Veterans during the Appleton Flag Day parade.

Most importantly, the all Tribal members would like to thank each of our Brothertown Veterans for their sacrifice for there Service to the Nation!

*Thank you, Nicole and others, for documenting the event so we can share with the whole tribe!

The Brothertown Indian Nation will be holding their annual Water Walk, Thursday, June 12, 2025 through Saturday the 14th.

The Water Walk is a ceremonial event to bring awareness that our waters need to be taken care of.

Starting Thursday around 7:00 am, participants will be leaving the water at the boat landing at Columbia Park in Pipe and heading south. Their path will take them through Lakeside Park around noon and then heading North on Hwy 45.

Those driving along Highways 151 & 45 around Lake Winnebago during these times are urged to use caution and watch for those taking part in the walk.

The Brothertown Indian Nation Veterans’ Committee and volunteers enjoyed a perfect early summer day for the Brat Fry, which resulted in a great turnout.   The customers were pleased, as few things compare to a beautiful sunny day and a freshly made Wisconsin Brat.

Mike and Nicole wanted to express their gratitude to all the lovely customers, the veterans attending, and the wonderful volunteers.  I, for one (and I assume other members as well), am heartbroken that I was unable to participate in and support the Veterans.  Excellent job – Thank you, everyone!
