The Ho-Chunk, Menominee, and Oneida tribes are offering a $500 incentive for vaccinations, including for those who have already been inoculated. For the Menominee Nation, members and tribal employees who are fully vaccinated on or before Oct. 31 are eligible to receive the incentive. Oneida tribal members and employees have until Sept. 30 to show proof of their vaccination to receive the $500. Ho-Chunk Nation members have until Nov. 1 to provide vaccination proof. So far, about 5,000 tribal members, or about 30%, are vaccinated.
