Menominee
Algonquian-speaking N. Amer. Indian people who lived along the Menominee River at the present-day Wisconsin-Michigan border. They lived in villages of dome-shaped houses and collected wild plants, fished, and hunted to obtain food. Originally organized into clans, their social organization changed as a result of the fur trade, when they scattered in mobile bands. In 1852 the U.S. government moved most of the tribe to a reservation in Wisconsin. Sporadic uprisings occurred into the early 20th cent., and political opposition was renewed in the 1960s and '70s. Today the Menominee number about 3,000.
