Abstract:
Papers created and collected by Burton R. Fisher, a University of Wisconsin sociology professor, who was a member of the Menominee Indian Study Committee (MISC). The collection includes a variety of material created by Fisher and used for reference purposes. Major sections of the papers are a file of legislation and related papers, consisting of federal and Wisconsin bills, drafts, reports of hearings, and other items; an extensive run of minutes and announcements of meetings of the Menominee Advisory and General Councils; and a large reference file of reports and papers regarding the economic, political, and social history and conditions of the Menominee Indians. Other papers include correspondence; scattered records of the Committee, Menominee Enterprises, Menominee Mills, and the Menominee Indian Agency; copies of the Menominee Indian Tribal Roll; and news clippings. Many of the papers have been annotated by Fisher.
