Menominee

The word "Menominee" means wild rice people.

The Menominee are the earliest continuous residents of Wisconsin. They have lived in Wisconsin for at least 5,000 years. The ancestral lands of the Menominee stretched from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan south to Milwaukee and west to central Wisconsin -- some 9 1/2 million acres. Following several treaties and land cessions, the land holdings of the Menominee people were reduced to their current Reservation in northeast Wisconsin. The Treaty of the Wolf River in 1854 established the boundaries of the Reservation. Then a final treaty signed in 1856, ceded two townships to the Stockbridge Indians of New York to use as their home. The Menominee Reservation covers ten legal townships, or about 235,000 acres. The Menominee existed in harmony with the land. A part of the Eastern Woodland Culture, the Menominee lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering. They grew some crops like corn, squash, and beans. The spiritual life of the Menominee centered around their forest home. Their survival depended on the forest that was a part of their culture.
