Lantern slides assembled by J.F. Wojta, for courses on improved farming practices for various tribes in Wisconsin. The courses were entitled “Early Indian Life in Wisconsin” and “Indians in Wisconsin in Food Production.” Wojta, who photographed some of the images, also borrowed others, including some from the WHS collections. Images feature individuals wearing handmade beaded regalia, hunting, dressing hides, drying corn, and picking cranberries. Individuals identified include Earnest Oshkosh, Mrs. Antonne Buffalo Sr., and Chas. Decorah. Also includes images of a pipestone quarry, implements, baskets, farmland and livestock, maple sugar harvest, wigwams, the Odanah Fair in Keshena, Wisconsin, and a lacrosse team. The “Early Indian Life in Wisconsin” course is accompanied by lecture notes and descriptions of the slides. Tribes represented include members of the Stockbridge-Munsee Community, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Menominee and Ho-Chunk.
