Memominee Indians
From 1915 to 1950 the museum made several fieldtrips to the Menominee Indians in Shawano County. Samuel Barrett, Alanson Skinner, and Robert Ritzenthaler were particularly interested in the Menominee culture. Huron Smith, while photographic many aspects of the culture, was primarily interested in the ethnobotany of the Menominee.
The photograph collection has over 500 photographs of the Menominee. Below is a sample of the collection.
