NATIVE AMERICAN TOURISM OF WISCONSINThe State of Wisconsin was once Indian Territory. A series of 19th century Treaties between the Tribes and the US Government established the 11 Tribal Reservations as they are known and recognized today. It is the largest concentration of tribes in one state east of the Mississippi River.
Native Wisconsin is made up of 11 sovereign Tribal nations: which can be found in this guide, between pages 4-24. Each Tribe is a sovereign nation that abides by its own Constitution.
These reservation lands occupy over one half million acres of prime forest and marsh lands, lakes and rivers. Each Tribe has its own language dialects, art forms, traditional practices, and oral histories. Diverse yet alike in many ways, each of the reservations feature pristine lakes, rivers and streams, towering forests and ancient wild rice beds-ecosystems teeming with an abundance of wildlife. Their natural resources have been protected by the same Treaties that established the reservations.
Tribal art, traditions and culture are significant parts of both Indian and non-Indian communities in the State, making Wisconsin a remarkable place to explore the history of Native American people.
Native American Tourism of Wisconsin (NATOW) is an inter-tribal consortium that was launched as a state wide initiative in 1994 by Great Lakes Inter-Tribal Council (GLITC). The mission of NATOW is to promote tourism featuring Native American heritage and culture. Tourism provides an excellent tactic for Tribes to diversify their economies, while telling the true story concerning their history and culture. Tourism is also one of the ways that Tribes can be self-sufficient and boost their economies. NATOW is comprised of representatives from each Tribe, who converge bi-monthly to discuss its strategic tourism plan. NATOW has grown significantly over the past few years, becoming a recognized force in Wisconsin at gatherings, festivals, and events. All efforts are coordinated by their own Director, Chairperson, and the executive board members who report directly to the GLITC Board of Directors.
We welcome all visitors to our lands.
Learning From the Past
The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa is a Tribe of Ojibwe, of the Anishinabe people, who migrated from the East. They migrated to the “place where food grows on water,” which was a reference to wild rice or manomin, a gift from the Creator. Madeline Island became the home, cultural, and religious center of the Ojibwe people. The sacred significance of Madeline Island remains deeply rooted in the Ojibwe people today.
M adeline Island became the home, cultural, and religious center of the Ojibwe people.

The history of the Potawatomi is a story of physical survival and cultural endurance. The impact of the arrival of the Europeans to Turtle Island demanded the balance of deep-rooted traditions and the adaption of new ways of life. The traditional values of family, sharing and mutual respect are the center points of our cultural heritage. The legacy of our ancestors is keeping these values alive. As skillful hunters and traders, the Potawatomi warriors quickly stepped into the European and Indian fur trade in the Western Great Lakes. In addition to the wisdom of their elders and leaders, technical advantages such as the birch-bark canoes helped the Potawatomi to become important middlemen. Many communities prospered and new villages were founded in Wisconsin like Algoma, Manitowoc, Sheboygan and Milwaukee, and Chicago, Ill. By the end of the 18th century, the Potawatomi villages ranged from northwestern Ohio through lower Michigan into eastern Wisconsin.
Today the communities’ successful gaming operations provide a means to support tribal businesses, community
projects, and attract new industries to the area while maintaining the integrity of the natural resources.
T he traditional values of FAMILY, SHARING and MUTUAL RESPECT are the center points of our cultural heritage.

Ho-Chunk Elders say that history begins with the creation of all things on earth. They say that Ho Chunk means “People of the Big Voice,” or “People of the Sacred Language.” Ho-Chunks have always occupied lands in Wisconsin, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota and Minnesota. They have hunted, fished, and gathered plants to provide their food source. The land was sacred because through it the Creator provided all their needs: Food, Clothing, Lodging and the means for their culture to thrive in its existence.
According to oral history, Ho-Chunk people have been in this region since prior to two ice ages, occupying the area around Green Bay in Wisconsin, reaching beyond Lake Winnebago to the Wisconsin River and to the Rock River in Illinois. The tribe hunted, fished, gathered and gardened. A spiritual people, the Ho-Chunk have always respected the land which they call home.

The Lac Du Flameau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Indians have inhabited the Lac du Flambeau area since 1745 when Chief Keeshkemun led the Band to the area. The Band acquired the name Lac du Flambeau from its gathering practice of harvesting fish at night by torchlight. The name Lac du Flambeau, or Lake of the Torches, refers to this practice and was given to the Band by the French traders and trappers who visited the area.
Lac du Flambeau is located in the Northern Highland Lake district, featuring 160 lakes that are surrounded by lush old-growth forest lands. Year-round recreational opportunities are plentiful, visitors can experience world-class fishing, water skiing and boating in the summer.

The Menominee are the oldest continuous residents of what is now known as Wisconsin, having previously occupied over 10 million acres of land to include Wisconsin, and borders of Illinois, Iowa, and Michigan. The Tribe’s creation began at the mouth of the Menominee River where the Great Bear emerged and took human form. Menominee, the “O-MAEQ-NO-MIN-NI-WUK,” means Wild Rice People.It was said that when the Menominee entered an area, the wild rice followed and when they left, the wild rice passed.

The Oneida Nation is originally from upstate New York. After the Revolutionary War, we lost nearly 5 million acres of our original homelands to the birth of the United States and the state of New York. Our people began to relocate to Wisconsin. In 1838, the Treaty with the Oneida established the 65,400-acre Oneida Indian Reservation along Duck Creek. For nearly 200 years, we have lived here, a place we now call home.
The Oneida Nation is a unique destination where you can experience and enjoy a culturally rich environment and the excitement of Green Bay football
year round. Make plans to visit an amazing work in progress as we continually develop our cultural heritage grounds as a historical walk through Oneida
history. Wisconsin’s first life size native longhouse, an outdoor amphitheater and originally reconstructed Oneida log homes, are in the plans to complete a
historical corridor of life in Oneida through the years.

The St. Croix people were known as “The Lost Tribe” after the Treaty of LaPointe in 1854. St. Croix was not a federally recognized Tribe until the passing of the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934, when federal lands were finally established for St. Croix. The St. Croix people had endured over 200 years of struggle to reclaim their original homelands.
Today, St. Croix is a strong sovereign nation and flourishing economic center. The Tribe is one of the largest employers in Northwest Wisconsin with over 2,000 employees in its Government center, casinos and enterprises. St. Croix is also a major contributor to the area’s economy.

The Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohican Indians were pushed from the Eastern seaboard across half a continent, forced to uproot and move many times to our present Land in Wisconsin. They have adopted the Many Trails symbol as reorientation of strength, hope, endurance and the many moves they endured since leaving the State of New York in the 1700’s. Their first move was from the Mohican homelands called Muh-he-kun-ne-ok, meaning “people of the waters that are never still,” which were located along the banks of what is now called the Hudson River.
The Stockbridge-Munsee have surley traveled “many trails” and yet survive as a nation of Mohican people.
