History in Indigenous Voices

A History in Indigenous Voices: Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Oneida, Stockbridge, and Brothertown Interactions in the Removal Era

Treaties made in the 1800s between the United States and the Indigenous nations of what is now Wisconsin had profound influence on the region's cultural and political landscape. Yet few people know that in the early part of the century, the Menominee and Ho-Chunk Nations of Wisconsin signed land treaties with several Indigenous nations from New York State. In this groundbreaking book, Carol Cornelius compiled a thorough account of nation-to-nation treaties, in large part in the words of the Indigenous leaders who served as the voices and representatives of their nations.
