Memorial celebration of Chief War Eagle
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) — The 'Girls of '68' held their annual memorial service for Theophile Bruguier and Chief War Eagle this morning at War Eagle Park.
The ceremony gave a history lesson on Sioux City, as the name came from the Sioux Native Americans. Chief War Eagle and Bruguier were from two different cultures, but officials said, that didn't stop them from working together back in the day.
One of the members of the 'Girls of '68' said, her ancestors were the founders and she wants to remind people of their history.
'I was honoring those two men and how they came here, met together from different cultures different skin colors, whole different way of life,' said Jana Foltz, a member of the Girls of '68. 'And they became trusted friends. I think that's just amazing considering what our culture is like today and people don't get along. I push towards looking back and seeing what happened with them.'
The Native Americans are hoping to be able to continue to inform more people about War Eagle Park, this summer through projects.

Dads can get paid time for Father's Day
With Father's Day just around the corner, DECKED is launching something special: the Dad Time Off (DTO) campaign. It's a chance for working dads across the U.S. to take a day off, on the house, and create some much-needed memories with their kids. Here's how it works: anyone can nominate a dad (or dads) who deserves a break from the grind. DECKED will select 100 lucky dads and reimburse a day's worth of lost wages, giving them a guilt-free opportunity to spend time with family. This campaign comes with eye-opening data from a survey of over 1,000 dads. The results? Many fathers are struggling to balance work and family life. A few key findings: 65% of dads have missed important moments with their kids due to work commitments. 43% feel financial stress when taking time off. 60% agree that more PTO or flexible hours would make it easier for their kids to be present. DECKED is stepping up to help dads reclaim their time this Father's Day. Nominate a dad today! Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
