"The Menominee (also spelled Menomini) are known as Mamaceqtaw, "the people" in their own language."
"The tribe has a reservation which is conterminous both with Menominee County, Wisconsin and with the town of Menominee, Wisconsin. They operate a number of gambling facilities and speak the Menominee language...."
"The tribe originally lived in what is now upper Michigan around Mackinac. After selling their lands to the U.S. government in 1854, they were moved to their present reservation. Although their customs are quite similar to those of the Chippewa (Ojibwa), their language has a closer affinity to those of the Fox and Kickapoo tribes."
"An Eastern Woodlands tribe, the Menominee belong to the Algonquian language branch of North America. They were known as "folles avoines" by the early French. The Menominees formerly subsisted on a wide variety of plants and animals, with wild rice and sturgeon being two of the most important foods; feasts are still held annually at which each of these is served. The five principal Menominee clans are the Bear, the Eagle, the Wolf, the Crane, and the Moose."
"Menominee mythology is rich with ethical meaning and interrelated in complex ways with the sacred literature of Native American people."
"The Menominee have a college called the College of the Menominee Nation."
