- Description
The Menominee long recalled their first encounters with the Europeans who arrived so unexpectedly in the seventeenth century. Their memories of these meetings were passed down verbally from parent to child for eight or nine generations, and ultimately told to visiting anthropologist Walter Hoffman in 1890, when he made five visits to their nation in Keshena.
