The implications are that the Winnebago society described in the tale valued achieved status and worth, for the orphan proves to be an excellent wife and mother, in addition to ascribed status.
In the case of Winnebago and their ancestors, it seems clear that the symbolic representation of warfare and cultural identity achieved through combat was passed from figures such as Sun to Red Horn.
Given Winnebago oral traditions for warfare with external groups and the previously discussed associations of (1) matrilocality or avunculocality with situations of external conflict and (2) matrilocal residence systems with the rise of matrilineality, it is reasonable to argue for the potential presence of matrilineality among the Winnebago.

 Trickster   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Winnebago Trickster cycle of forty-nine stories is central in his book, The Trickster and is the most referenced trickster figure of his writings by subsequent students of Native American tricksters.
According to Radin the translation of the tricky one in a Siouan language of the Winnebago is wakdjunkaga; accordingly this specific trickster cycle is also known as the Wakdjunkaga Trickster cycle.
Among the forty nine stories are the story of Wakdjunkaga taking his extremely large and weighty penis from the box off his back where he carries it to send it across the river to impregnate a chief's daughter and the story of the talking laxative bulb consumed by the trickster resulting in effluent scatological comedies.

Based on the Winnebago's origin myths, Earthmaker was the one who anchored the earth at the four cardinal points, creating a stability out of chaos and allowing human life to exist.
Among the Winnebago mythological creatures is the anthropomorphic figure of the "Trickster." He is at once a culture hero who fails his commission by Earthmaker to save the world and is also the embodiment of the totally unsocialized person.
For the Winnebago, the spiritual and natural are intertwined, the gods accessible, and blessings from the spirits a prerequisite for obtaining the state of socialized being.

For 166 years the Winnebagos, with 1,200 members currently on the reservation and 3,800 on the roll, has had its own views on what “useful knowledge” should be dispensed.
The Winnebagos opened Little Priest College, with John Blackhawk telling me at the first-day ceremonies that the school is “an institution of survival.” Start-up funding of $500,000 came from the tribe’s casino income.

 L.C. Subject Headings Weekly List 30 (July 28, 2004)
Speeches, addresses, etc., Winnebago; Winnebago Indians; Hoc k language; Winnebago mythology; Ho Chunk Indians It appears that the language spoke by the Winnebago Indians in Nebraska is the same language as that spoken by the Ho Chunk (or Hoc k) Indians in Wisconsin, who were formerly also referred to as Winnebago Indians.
Therefore it does not seem appropriate to change the heading Winnebago language to Hoc k language, since Winnebago is a more inclusive term that is applicable to the Indians in both Nebraska and Wisconsin, whereas Hoc k applies only to the Indians in Wisconsin.
The remaining proposals have been withdrawn to investigate discrepancies in the diacritics in the UF references, and to determine whether additional UFs are required for the heading Winnebago language.
