Excerpt from The Dream Dance of the Chippewa and Menominee Indians of Northern Wisconsin The relations existing between the Chippewa and certain other tribes belonging to the great Algonquin linguistic stock appear to have always been very cordial. With the Ottawa and Potawatomi especially their relations were intimate, apparently by virtue of the fact that these three tribes all sprang originally from the same source, as nearly as can be gathered. At present also especially friendly relations are maintained between the Wisconsin Chippewa and the small number of Potawatomi still residing in the state. More or less friendly relations appear to have existed from time immemorial between the Chippewa and the Menominee who are also an Algonquin people, though these relations were not so intimate as those of the Chippewa with the Ottawa and the Potawatomi. At the present time the relations between the Chippewa and the Menominee are very cordial. The Menominee appear to have been at all times a comparatively small tribe whose numbers probably never varied greatly from that of the present day, which is about When first encountered by whites they resided in the vicinity of the Menominee river which forms part of the boundary between Wisconsin and Michigan. They laid claim to the western shore of Lake Michigan from the mouth of Green bay to the mouth of the Milwaukee river, and inland to em brace the whole drainage basins of the Menominee and the Fox rivers. They at present reside on what is known as the Menominee reservation, on the upper course of the Wolf river, in Shawano and Oconto counties.
