Restoring Menominee Tribal Government: The First Step1973-01-01unknownhttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/enghttp://congressarchives.org/record/CAC_CC_009_1_36_16_0003The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin is taking steps to restore their tribal government, which was terminated in 1961. This process includes nominating tribal candidates for the Menominee Restoration Committee and holding elections. Public Law 93-197, signed by President Nixon, supports the restoration of the Menominee Tribe to Federal status. The restoration committee will represent the tribe until a tribal governing body is elected, and their duties include drafting a tribal constitution and updating the membership roll.
