What is Menominee?

The Menominee are an Algonquin Indian tribe of Northeast Wisconsin with over 7,000 Tribal Members. The present name for the Menominee is derived from Omaeqnomenewak (dont try to say it unless you have a Menominee Lexicon in front of you), meaning 'Wild Rice People', due to the fact that wild rice was the main staple food. The Menominee Reservation is located about 40 miles North and East of Green Bay, Wisconsin encompassing approximately 234,000 acres comprised mainly of dense forests and serene lakes. The Wolf River, a presently endangered river due to the threat of mining, is the major water way through. Here is a link (not yet added, be patient) to information on the mining threat and what the people of the Reservation, as well as surrounding areas, are doing to fight this extreme threat to the way of life.
