Together, we are creating a new wonder for Wisconsin, a world-class museum that’s alive with the wonders around us and unleashes the wonder within us.

Although warfare never attained the prominence it did among the Plains tribes, it still had considerable importance in the Woodland value system. Among Indian tribes of the Great Lakes, warfare and hunting were exclusively male activities. A man's position and stature within an Indian society often rested on his abilities and accomplishments as a hunter and warrior.
