NATIVE AMERICAN COMMUNITIES IN WISCONSIN
Native American Tourism of Wisconsin Welcome to Native Wisconsin! Before Wisconsin was a state, it was Indian Territory. Today, it is still home to the largest concentration of Native American Tribes in any state east of the Mississippi. All of us who are associated with Native American Tourism of Wisconsin (NATOW) have the privilege of representing all 11 of these tribes on a local, national, and international level. We Invite you to Experience Native Wisconsin! The United States Constitution recognizes each of these tribes as a sovereign nation, which means they abide by their own individual Constitution, governed by their own people, and controlling their own affairs. Each Nation has its own language, traditions, and rich histories as you’ll see as you thumb through this exciting guide to Native Wisconsin. As you explore these pages, set aside any preconceived notions you may have about Native Americans and instead, marvel at the rich heritage and unique qualities of each tribe and prepare to learn something new about “real” Native Americans. You’ll learn about our reservations and communities that collectively make up over one-half million acres of prime forests and marsh lands. Each featuring pristine lakes, rivers and streams, towering forests, and ancient wild rice beds teeming with an abundance of wildlife so important to our way of life. The 11 Nations of Native Wisconsin have always been good stewards of the land – a core value that is deeply rooted in Native American tradition, culture, and pride. Also, within the pages of this travel guide, you will be inspired by stories of traditional Native American art, music, and dance – including the powwows that each of the 11 tribes hold annually. There are museums and cultural centers located on reservations throughout Native Wisconsin steeped with so much cultural history, that you’ll surely want to find a way to experience them all. So enjoy this guide as much as we enjoyed putting it together as I personally invite you to experience Native Wisconsin! All the best, Apache Danforth Tribal Tourism Development Director
Native American Tourism of Wisconsin (NATOW) is comprised of representatives from each sovereign Nation. These delegates drive the development and marketing of Native Wisconsin destinations. NATOW has grown significantly over the last few years, becoming a recognized force in Wisconsin at gatherings, festivals, and events. All efforts are coordinated by their own Director, Chairperson, and the executive board members who report directly to the Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council Board of Directors.
We welcome all visitors to our lands.

The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is a Tribe of Ojibwe. They migrated to the place where food grows on the water, which is a reference to wild rice or manomin, a gift from the Creator. The Bad River Band is located on a 125,000+ acre reservation in Northern Wisconsin on the South shore of Lake Superior (known by the tribe as Gichi Gami). The reservation is over 90% wetland and kept in its natural state whenever possible by the tribe. The land base plus almost 200 acres on Madeline Island was set aside for the Bad River Band in the treaty of 1854. The treaty was finalized September 30, 1854 at Lapointe on Madeline Island, longtime capital and cultural center of the Ojibwe.

The history of the Potawatomi is a story of physical survival and cultural endurance. The impact of the arrival of the Europeans to Turtle Island demanded the balance of deep-rooted traditions and the adaption of new ways of life. The traditional values of family, sharing and mutual respect are the center points of our cultural heritage. The legacy of our ancestors is keeping these values alive. As skillful hunters and traders, the Potawatomi warriors quickly stepped into the European and Indian fur trade in the Western Great Lakes. In addition to the wisdom of their elders and leaders, technical advantages such as birch-bark canoes, helped the Potawatomi to become important middlemen. Many communities prospered and new villages were founded in Wisconsin, to include Algoma, Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Milwaukee, as well as Chicago, Illinios. By the end of the 18th century, the Potawatomi villages ranged from Northwestern Ohio through lower Michigan into Eastern Wisconsin.

Ho-Chunk Elders say that history begins with the creation of all things on earth. They say that Ho-Chunk means “People of the Big Voice,” or “People of the Sacred Language.” Ho-Chunks have always occupied lands in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. They have hunted, fished, and gathered plants to provide their food source. The land was sacred because through it, the Creator provided all their needs: food, clothing, lodging and the means for their culture to thrive in its existence. According to oral history, Ho-Chunk people have been in this region since prior to two ice ages, occupying the area around Green Bay in Wisconsin, reaching beyond Lake Winnebago to the Wisconsin River and to the Rock River in Illinois. The tribe hunted, fished, gathered and gardened. A spiritual people, the Ho-Chunk have always respected the land which they call home.

The Lac Du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians have inhabited the Lac du Flambeau area since 1745, when Chief Keeshkemun led the Band to the area. The Band acquired the name Lac du Flambeau from its gathering practice of harvesting fish at night by torchlight. The name Lac du Flambeau, or Lake of the Torches, refers to this practice and was given to the Band by the French traders and trappers who visited the area. Lac du Flambeau is located in the Northern Highland Lake district, featuring 260 lakes that are surrounded by lush, old-growth forest lands. Year-round recreational opportunities are plentiful, allowing visitors to experience world-class fishing, water skiing and boating in the summer. Lac du Flambeau is popular with visitors who come to witness the breathtaking colors as the leaves change in the fall.

The Oneida Nation is originally from upstate New York. After the Revolutionary War, we lost nearly 5 million acres of our original homelands to the birth of the United States and the state of New York. Our people began to relocate to Wisconsin and in 1838, the Treaty with the Oneida established the 65,400-acre Oneida Indian Reservation along Duck Creek. For nearly 200 years, we have lived here, a place we now call home.

The Sokaogon Chippewa Community, Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa reservation is situated in beautiful Northeastern Wisconsin. Mole Lake is home to one of the last remaining ancient wild rice beds in the state of Wisconsin. The Sokaogon Chippewa Community is also known as the Lost Tribe because the legal title to the 12 mile square reservation from the treaty of 1854 was lost in a shipwreck on Lake Superior. Under the provisions of the 1934 Reorganization Act, 1,745 acres of land were purchased for the Mole Lake Reservation. In 1930, a roll had been taken in the Mole Lake area and 199 Native Americans were determined to be in this band. They had been promised this land by a treaty signed with Franklin Pierce. This agent, who was to confirm the treaty and secure the land for them, drowned on his return trip from Washington. The Tribe, under the leadership of Chief Willard Ackley, received federal recognition and reservation status in 1937. To this day, the Tribe actively pursues any knowledge or document to support their claim to the original treaty lands.

The St. Croix people were known as “The Lost Tribe” after the Treaty of LaPointe in 1854. St. Croix was not a federally recognized Tribe until the passing of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, when federal lands were finally established for St. Croix. The St. Croix people had endured over 200 years of struggle to reclaim their original homelands. Today, St. Croix is a strong sovereign nation and flourishing economic center. The Tribe is one of the largest employers in Northwest Wisconsin with over 2,000 employees in its Government center, casinos and enterprises. St. Croix is also a major contributor to the area’s economy.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians were pushed from the Eastern seaboard across half a continent, forced to uproot and move many times to our present Land in Wisconsin. They have adopted the Many Trails symbol as reorientation of strength, hope, endurance and the many moves they endured since leaving the State of New York in the 1700’s. Their first move was from the Mohican homelands called Muh-he-kun-ne-ok, meaning “people of the waters that are never still,” which were located along the banks of what is now called the Hudson River.
