MENOMINEE

The Menominee are an Algonquian tribe of Indians, generally resembling the Ojibwa, but with a distinct language. They formerly ranged over north Wisconsin and upper Michigan. They were unfriendly to the English settlers, but took sides against the colonists during the American War Of Independence. In 1813 also they allied themselves with the British, taking part in several engagements. Treaties were made in 1817, 1825, and 1827. In 1831 they began to cede their lands around Green Bay and Lake Michigan. They aided the Government in the Sac and Fox War and in the Rebellion.

OJIBWAY

Picture of Ojibway

The Ojibway (Ojibwa, Chippewa, Chippewayans) are a North American Indian tribe of the North Carolina Algonquin family. The Ojibway originated from Sault Marie in Ontario and were contacted by Europeans in the 17th century, becoming involved in the fur trade from about 1670 and during the 18th century extended east and north-west. At the end of the 19th century they were living on the shores of Lake Huron and Lake Superior. Early wars with neighboring-tribes greatly reduced their numbers. They joined Pontiac. During the American War of Independence they were allies of England, but made peace by treaties in 1785 and 1789. They joined in the Miamis' uprising, but, reduced by Wayne, made peace in 1795. They ceded most of their lands on Lake Erie in 1805. They renewed hostilities in 1812, but joined in the peace of 1816, and relinquished all their lands in Ohio. Other treaties ceding territory followed, and by 1851 nearly the entire tribe had moved west of the Mississippi.
