In the record
The United States made 9 treaties and agreements that name Menominee as a party, from Menominee at St. Louis (1817) to Menominee at Keshena, Wisconsin (1856).
The atlas records 1 broken treaty promise involving Menominee: Termination policy: House Concurrent Resolution 108 (1953) and Public Law 280. 2 court cases turned on their rights: Menominee Tribe of Indians v. United States and Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin v. United States.
Today, Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin carries this history, as their own pages or research records say. Land has come back: Menominee Legend Lake buybacks (Wisconsin Supreme Court) and Menominee restoration to reservation status.
