counties, and at La Court Oreilles, in Sawyer County. They have schools at all of these places. The number of Chippewa in Wisconsin is 3,800. The Potawatomi (Potawatamiuk, "people of the place of the fire") are closely related to the Chippewa. From the straits of Mackinac a portion of this tribe moved southward and were encountered bj the French on the islands at the head of the Green Bay peninsula in 1670. From here they spread along the shore of Lake Michigan and at the close of the seventeenth century had established them¬ selves at Milwaukee and Chicago and points inland. They sided actively with the French down to the peace of 1763, took part in Pontiac's uprising, and during the Revolution and War of 1812 took part with the British against the United States. By the treaties of 1829 and 1835 they ceded their lands to the government and Were removed to Iowa, and in 1846 to a reservation in Kansas. A part of the Prairie band resides in Forest and other northeast Wisconsin counties. They have an agency at Laona. Their number is about 400. The Ottawa (from adawe, "to trade")' were first encountered by Champlain on Georgian Bay, in 1615. They came to Wisconsin in 1650, driven westward by the Iroquois, and dwelt for a time with the Potawatomi, on the islands at the head of Green Bay. Their residence here was only temporary. A few years later a part of the tribe moved to Keweenaw Bay (1660) while others fled westward with a band of the Huron to an island near the entrance of Lake Pepin. Driven away by the Dakota they moved to the Black River, and afterwards settled on the shore of Chequamegon Bay. Harassed by the Dakota they returned under French protection (1670-71) to Manitoulin Island in Lake Huron. By 1680 most of them had re¬ turned to Mackinac. The Menomini are nearly related in language to the Sauk and Fox. Their name is derived from meno, "good"; min, "a grain," the Chippewa name for wild rice. They probably came originally from some point south of Mackinac. They were first found at the mouth of the Menominee River, in about 1634, their settlements then or later extending as far south along the west shore of Green Bay as the Fox River. They have generally been at peace with the whites. In 1854 the government ceded to them their present reservation in Shawano County. Their number was probably never greater than 2,500, their present number being 1,928.

Description |
Charles E. Brown (1872-1946) was curator of the Museum of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin and secretary of the Wisconsin Archaeological Society. He also collected a substantial body of folklore on Wisconsin Indians, lumbering, steamboating, local history, and related topics which he published in pamphlet form. Brown created these pamphlets for the Wisconsin Archaeological Society, the Wisconsin Folklore Society, courses he taught during University of Wisconsin summer sessions, and simply as privately published booklets for the amusement of his friends and colleagues. Most are only 4-8 pages long. In the printed booklets, Brown did not usually cite sources for the tales, but his correspondence and research notes are available in the Wisconsin Historical Society Archives in boxes 2-10 of Wis Mss HB.
