Wisconsin Dells removes carved Indian statue after protests
Tourists may no longer see a hand carved Indian statue near the Wisconsin River bridge in Wisconsin Dells. Indian protesters complained of job bias and merchants exploiting their image.

Boat names may change due to the protests. In Madison, Wisconsin 11 former Vietnam POWs would be exempt from state taxes on interest earned on their salaries under a bill passed by the Assembly.
