Papers created and collected by a University of Wisconsin sociology professor who was a member of the Menominee Indian Study Committee. Created by the Wisconsin Legislature in 1955, the Committee's purpose was to study and advise on the problems arising from termination of federal supervision over the Menominee Indians. Members of the Committee included the attorney general, state agency staff, legislators, representatives of the university and of the Oconto and Shawano county boards, and members of the Menominee Indian governing councils. The collection includes a variety of material created by Fisher and used for reference purposes. Major sections of the papers are a file of legislation and related papers, consisting of federal and Wisconsin bills, drafts, reports of hearings, and other items; an extensive run of minutes and announcements of meetings of the Menominee Advisory and General Councils; and a large reference file of reports and papers regarding the economic, political, and social history and conditions of the Menominee Indians. Other papers include correspondence; scattered records of the Committee, Menominee Enterprises, Menominee Mills, and the Menominee Indian Agency; copies of the Menominee Indian Tribal Roll; and news clippings. Many of the papers have been annotated by Fisher.
