Waksik Wago is a partnership that serves the tribal Winnebago Village in rural Eastern Nebraska. An Indian term for "active people," Waksik Wago is focused on creating safe routes and connections for walking and bicycling.

The partnership has also worked with the Nebraska Department of Roads to calm traffic on Highway 75, which bisects the village. New improvements include better striping, school crossing lights and a future traffic circle.

The design for Ho-Chunk Village incorporates active living principles, new urbanism concepts, and cultural traditions to envision a walkable community on the Winnebago Reservation. The mixed-use, pedestrian-friendly village addresses health issues that affect local residents such as diabetes and obesity, creating more opportunities for residents to be active in everyday life.

Partners worked with the village and tribal community to create and adopt a trail master plan. Construction of this multi-phase plan began in Fall 2005.

This organization was one of 25 demonstration projects selected by Active Living by Design, a national program of The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
