Where did Menominee Indians live?

Answer 1

The Menominee (Wild Rice People), who called themselves Mamaceqtaw, built two types of dwelling: small, domed birchbark-covered wigwams and larger rectangular bark-covered lodges. The lodges were used during the winter, with small hunting bands using the wigwams during the summer months.

Menominee named villages were recorded as Fort Howard (Green Bay), Keshena, Menominee, Milwaukee, Neopit, and Tokaunee, but there were probably many more. The links below take you to images of Menominee dwellings:

Answer 2

The name Menominee (not the real name of this tribe) refers to wild rice and it indicates a major element in their diet. They were also farmers, raising the usual maize, beans and squash. They fished for sturgeon from birch bark and dugout canoes; deer and eastern woodlands buffalo were hunted with bows, on foot.

Women collected wild plant foods - roots, berries nuts and various herbs.

Answer 3

The Menomini people lived in both longhouses (called keno:htem) and domed, bark-covered wigwams (called we:kewam).

Villages were made up of many longhouses, with a larger version used for meetings and ceremonies; there was also a sweat-lodge for use by the men. Hunting bands used the smaller wigwam as temporary dwellings.
