Abstract:

Records of the Menominee Tribal News (known as Menominee Nation News in 2008), a Native American newspaper run by the members of the Menominee Nation, including those years when the Menominee had been declared disbanded as a tribe due to the Menominee Termination Act (1954), and later reinstated through the Menominee Restoration Act (1974). The records consist mostly of photographs and negatives, scrapbooks of newspaper clippings, and papers. Many of the files, although they came from the newspaper office, document subjects of broader relevance to the community, including research for the formation of the Menominee County School District, the Menominee Restoration Committee, the Menominee Historical Foundation Inc., and Menominee Enterprises Inc. Photographs document daily life and community events of the Menominee Indians, including pow-wows, hide tanning, sports, and school.
