Project Homeland › Nations

Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin

Lands ceded to the United States by treaty, law or executive order, 1831–1854, as Charles C. Royce recorded them in 1899 — 37,527 km² in 11 cessions across Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin.

A cession records when the United States took title — not the full extent of a homeland, and much land was taken without any treaty. The link between each cession and present-day nations is the one the U.S. Forest Service and the National NAGPRA Program’s dataset records; the nation’s own account comes first.

Named in the treaties as: Menomini
