Menominee Reservation

It's corruption is very evident and needs more investigations. Below is a late 19th century map depicting most of Wisconsin and the land region between Green Bay and Lac du Flambeau Reservation. Look it over carefully. It points to Lac du Flambeau Reservation! It's a cover-up! All of land area number 261 was set aside to be an Ojibwa Reservation. It includes Bad River Reservation, Lac Vieux Reservation, Menominee Reservation and Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation. There's also a map of a rejected Lac du Flambeau Reservation as well. Will keep 1831's Reservation which extends from Oneida Reservation (?) to Lac du Flambeau Reservation. Lac du Flambeau Reservation and Menominee Reservation are the same Reservation. Land regions included in 1831's treaty have numbers 158, 160, 219 and 261. Bad River Reservation, Forest County Potawatomi Reservation, Lac du Flambeau Reservation, Lac Vieux Reservation, Menominee Reservation, Sokaogan Reservation and Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation are within or adjacent to land area number 261. Land areas 160 and 219 were ceded by Ojibwa leaders. During September 30, 1854's Treaty, certain treaty information waas lost in a shipwreck. It's another white excuse. 1842's Treaty was the first attempt at reducing this large Ojibwa Reservation land area. Neither 1842's Treaty nor 1854's Treaty was accepted by Ojibwa leaders. All of land area number 261 remains an Ojibwa Reservation. American leaders possibly tried coercing Menominee Ojibwa's to relocate to Pillager Ojibwa land at Minnesota. An absolute refusal to leave was supposedly advanced by Ojibwa leaders to American leaders. However, Ojibwa People were following prophesy and migrating west! Settling on Pillager Ojibwa land was initiated by Ojibwa Folks from Wisconsin and continuing their migration west by Ojibwa Traditionalists, was law.

Lac du Flambeau Reservation was supposedly created by an 1854 treaty yet we must accept February 8, 1831's Treaty. Menominee People are not a distinct tribe! Among Ojibwa People was a Totemic System in which six major totems governed Ojibwa People. Menominee People are from the Ojibwa Agriculture Totem. The major agriculture totem had many smaller totems within it. One was wild rice production. It's very likely that the Wild Rice Totem was the largest totem within the Ojibwa Agriculture Totem around the Great Lakes. No treaty could be signed between a minor Ojibwa Totem within a major Ojibwa Totem with another nation. Treaties between Ojibwa Nation and other nations were signed between the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem or all six major Ojibwa Totems leaders. We should accept that it was the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem that held power to sign treaties!

1831's Treaty supposedly ceded 2.5 million acres of Ojibwa land at Wisconsin. Another 500,000 acres was supposedly ceded to the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribe. The 1831 treaty ceded all of northeast Wisconsin and created a vast Ojibwa Reservation from near Green Bay to nearly all of north Wisconsin. Stockbridge and Munsee People are Ojibwa. Both are eastern Ojibwa Folks. They spoke Ojibwa! They're really the Sokaogan Ojibwa's and Forest County Potawatomi Ojibwa's. Their Reservations are located between Lac du Flambeau Reservation and Menominee Reservation. Potawatomi People are not a distinct tribe. Like Menominee People, they are an Ojibwa Totem. Of the six major Ojibwa Totems, Potawatomi People were a minor totem within the major Ojibwa Midewiwin Totem which handled the health care, education and well being of Ojibwa villages. So important was the Ojibwa Potawatomi Totem at all Ojibwa villages, their power and the power of the enire Midewiwin Totem, was second to the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem. Among Ojibwa Folks the Potawatomi were named "Fire Keepers." Warren wrote their totem name as Po-da-waud-um-eeg which means "Those Who Keep The Fire." Correct translation is "Fire Keepers People." Their role was to keep fires going and collect fuel for fires. Other minor totems were also in the major Midewiwin Totem. Totems were created to keep villages clean as in clean of human defications, garbage, and for home repairs, ect. It was not uncommon for the major Midewiwin Totem to demand payments! And so important was the major Midewiwin Totem they had support from the Ojibwa Military and Police Totem!

A vast Ojibwa Reservation covering nearly all of north Wisconsin was created by February 8, 1831's Treaty. A tract of land from Green Bay to near Milwaukee was ceded and another tract of land on Green Bays west and north was ceded. It's land cession number is 219. American leaders next targeted Ojibwa land at south Wisconsin. On September 26, 1833 a treaty was signed that ended the 1832 war. Ojibwa leaders were sending their Ojibwa Subjects west and southwest. It was not back east as historians educate you. American leaders tried stopping the migration yet couldn't. A truce was agreed to which led to 1833's treaty. Black Hawks War was fought to halt an Ojibwa west migration. It's possible that American leaders put an experimental revolver to use during 1832's Black Hawk War. Since many Ojibwa's reached Iowa, an agreement was agreed to in which a 5 million acre Ojibwa Reservation was set aside at Iowa, Minnesota and northwest Missouri. Per treaty agreements Ojibwa leaders ceded a large area of their land at southeast Wisconsin and northeast Illinois. Milwaukee and parts of Chicago are located within the ceded land area. Actual treaty negotiations probably commenced about same time as the Ojibwa or Menominee Treaty of February 8, 1831. American leaders refused to share land within the land area they demanded. That led to the west migration and 1832 War! Further north, American leaders agreed to share land within the land area they demanded. All of east Wisconsins land to Lake Michigan was dealt with by 1831's Treaty and 1833's Treaty.

Other treaties followed in 1842 and 1854 which we will reject pertaining to Bad River Reservation, Lac du Flambeau Reservation, Lac Vieux Reservation, Menominee Reservation, Sokaogan Reservation, Forest County Potawatomi Reservation and Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation which was later created for Sokaogan Ojibwa's and Forest County Potawatomi Ojibwa's. Lac du Flambeau Reservation was created by February 8, 1831's Treaty. Ojibwa's from north Wisconsin refused to participate in 1832's War. A vast Reservation was created for them and they were content. It's land is mostly waterways, wetlands and woodlands.
