Abstract: These materials were collected by Lloyd W. Woodruff, a faculty member at the University of Wisconsin Extension Division Bureau of Government, and they focus on his research on behalf of the Joint Legislative Council's Menominee Indian Study Committee (MISC) from 1955-1959. The MISC formed on June 17, 1955 to study the problems created by the withdrawal of federal recognition of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and to aid the Joint Legislative Council in developing legislation necessary for the Menominee to transition from federal supervision to local self-government. The committee researched how the transition would impact taxation, public welfare, local politics, education, healthcare, highways, forestry, and the criminal justice system. The bulk of the materials in the collection document the County and Local Government Study Group and Law and Order Study Committee due to Woodruff's participation in this research. The collection documents the Menominee Indian Study Committee's (MISC) internal activities and the perspectives of stakeholders in Shawano, Langdale, and Oconto counties, the Wisconsin state government, the federal government, and the Menominee Indian Tribe on termination and the transition to Menominee self-government. The collection includes: meeting minutes of the MISC, its sub–committees, the Menominee Coordinating and Negotiating Committee, and the Menominee Advisory Council; bibliographies; field notes; annotated drafts and final reports of MISC research; correspondence with tribal, state, county, and federal officials; Woodruff's meeting and interview notes with state and county officials; and Menominee tribal members, and drafts of state and federal legislation. The University of Wisconsin- Madison University Archives values the diversity of Indigenous Peoples' cultures and languages and aspires to address Indigenous people using the terminology the members the community use to describe themselves.
