The Ojibwe Basic History
The Native American roots in Menominee are suspected to go back as far as 10,000 years ago. That’s quite a long history for the Ojibwe people. The historic territory of the natives where originally around 10 million acres in the Wisconsin upper peninsula. Menominee its self gets its name from the native Ojibwe people and in their language, meaning “wild rice people” as wild rise was a major food supply in this area.

The Ojibwe were once the largest Indian group north of Mexico. The Ojibwe call themselves “Anishinaabeg”, meaning “True people” or “original people”.
