Book Description
In 1961, the U.S. government terminated the Menominee Indians’ federal status as a recognized tribe, including rights to a self-governed reservation. The Menominees were not the only tribe subject to this injustice; the government’s action was part of its larger policy of termination, which aimed to assimilate all Native Americans into larger American society. For the Menominees, as well as for other tribes, the result was devastating; in addition to their loss of land, Native peoples lost their livelihoods, assets, and very identities. In Menominee Drums, Nicholas C. Peroff explains how termination evolved and how it affected the Menominees. He also tells the astounding story of how the termination was reversed. Through an organized campaign called DRUMS, the tribe was able to regain its status of federal recognition.

Menominee Identity Maintenance Through Termination
Author: Nichole Boyd
Publisher:
ISBN:

Languages : en
Pages : 198
Book Description
Historically, the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin has rested their identity on tribalism, self-determination, and connection to their land. Much of their history has been about their fight to maintain their identity as a people through struggling against the US government over land control through the various termination and restoration periods. As the Menominee tried to maintain their traditional ways, they often found themselves in conflict with mainstream values and culture. This paper discusses their history through the role of identity. Many Menominee found themselves becoming bicultural as a way to balance life both inside and outside of their indigenous culture.
