#thestoryofwisconsinindians

In honor of Native American Heritage month, we’re highlighting our new acquisition, The Story of Wisconsin Indians, created by Ludwig Cinatl, Jr. and featured in the Sunday, December 3, 1967 edition of The Milwaukee Journal.

The map shows Wisconsin place names in their original, pre-colonial language, historical information about different tribes, and has historical markers as early as the 100 BC depicting the beginning of the effigy mound culture. The bulk of the map depicts events between 1634 and the mid-1800s.

The map also includes 4 ancillary maps entitled: “Principal Indian Cessions 1829-1848” and “Location of Indian Tribes 1634,” “Location of Indian Tribes 1634-1750” and “Location of Indian Tribes 1750-1825.”
