This 4-session course will explore the history of land ownership
in WI. With assistance from the First Nations Studies
faculty and staff, we will trace how the state of Wisconsin
was carved out of the ancient homelands of the Menominee,
Ojibwe, Potawatomie and Ho-Chunk Nations, how those
nations managed to maintain some presence on the land, and
how they were joined by members of the Oneida, Stockbridge-Munsee, and Brothertown Nations. We will consider
how federal land policies promoted the continued transfers
of land from Native people to white settlers. We will then
consider where Wisconsin is today in coming to grips with its past.
