Meer over het boek

The Menominee Indians have a rich and resilient history in Wisconsin, having maintained their ancestral homeland while other tribes were displaced. Their interactions with Europeans began in the 17th century, leading to both alliances and conflicts. Notable tribal leaders shaped their legacy in trade and warfare, contributing to the naming of several Wisconsin cities. Despite facing challenges in the 20th century, the tribe has emerged as a significant force, recognized for its leadership and cultural contributions, exemplified by figures like Ada Deer and Sylvia Wilber.
