Menominee Nation

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin is a federally recognized Indian tribe located in the state of Wisconsin. The tribe was originally part of the Algonquin nation and occupied the area around Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The Menominee have a long and rich history in the area, having lived in the region for centuries prior to European contact. They were an agricultural people, growing corn, beans, squash, and tobacco. They also hunted and fished, and were known for their intricate basket weaving.

The Menominee were part of the Great Lakes region, and were known for their strong alliances with other tribes in the region. They were forcibly removed from their homeland in the early 19th century by the US government, and were relocated to a reservation in eastern Wisconsin.

The reservation was established in 1854, and the Menominee have lived there ever since. The Menominee have struggled to maintain their culture and traditions, despite the many challenges they have faced.

In recent years, the tribe has made strides in preserving their language and culture, and in reclaiming their ancestral lands. The Menominee are a proud and resilient people, and they continue to fight for their rights and sovereignty.
