This collection contains records created by the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM)
participants in the Wisconsin Native American Languages Project (WNALP), an effort to create
culturally relevant curriculum for Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Oneida and Potawatomi
children and adults. Most of the records are curriculum and include instructional materials,
lexicons and vocabularies, and audio recordings. Several of the languages were referred to
by names common in the 1970s such as "Ojibwa," "Chippewa," and "Winnebago." In some cases
there are variant spellings. The finding aid uses the term found on the records in the
individual folders. When possible these have been corrected to the term used currently by
each nation.
