Who first inhabited in Wisconsin?
The earliest Wisconsin inhabitants that we currently have evidence for are three Algonquin tribes: the Menominee, the Kickapoo and the Miami; and three Siouan tribes: the Winnebago, the Dakota and the Iowa. That said, one needs understand the difficulties encountered by researchers of Native American cultures in the midwest. (1) Maintaining a written history was not part of Native American cultures, so much of what we know dates only from the arrival of European traders and invaders. (2) Wisconsin tended to be inhabited by many small bands and loosely organized tribes not exceeding a few thousand individuals, unlike the great confederations of the eastern and western Native American nations. (3) Midwestern tribes were not stationary. There was a good deal of moving around as tribes migrated by choice or were driven by warfare. Wisconsin was the site of two notable movements: a great Siouan migration (including the Iowa, Missouri and Oto tribes) from the north to the southwest, and a westward movement of Algonquin tribes or bands driven from the east by intertribal warfare. Following is some detail regarding the opening paragraph above. Only the Winnebago and Menominee remain in Wisconsin from prehistoric days. The Winnebago (Hotcangara or Ho-chunk) are an ancient remnant of the Siouan migration. The Menominee(Mamaceqtaw) are an Algonquin people whose tradition states that they were driven by intertribal warfare to Wisconsin from Michigan over 10,000 years ago. Both tribes are essentially indigenous. The Kickapoo and the Miami (Miamiak) eventually migrated southeast. The Dakota moved westward, and the Iowa moved southwest to become the Iowa, Missouri and Oto tribes. Many of today's Wisconsin Native Americans are descendants of a later westward migration of Algonquin tribes driven by intertribal warfare and European settlement: The Chippewa (Ojibwe), the Stockbridge-Munsee (Mohican and Delaware tribes), the Oneida (Oneyoteaka, an Iriquois tribe), and the Potawatomi (Neshnabek, related to the Ojibwe and Ottawa). At the time of the arrival of Europeans, Wisconsin was also home to the Fox (Meshkwa kihig') and the Sauk (Osa'kiwug), neither of which have a significant Wisconsin presence today. Also the Illinois (Iliniwek) tribe moved in and out of the region.

Why were some of the Iroquois tribes forced to leave to Oklahoma or Wisconsin?
Some Iroquois tribes were forced to relocate to Oklahoma or Wisconsin due to the pressures of westward expansion and government policies in the 19th century. The U.S. government aimed to acquire their ancestral lands for settlement and agriculture, often through treaties that were not honored. The removal was part of a broader pattern of displacement experienced by many Native American tribes during this period. As a result, some Iroquois sought refuge in these new territories to preserve their culture and community.
What Native American tribes lived in Wisconsin?
Menominee, Ho-Chunk, Ojibwe,Potawatomi, Sauk, Mohegan, and probably the Fox at one time.
When did the potawatomi come to Wisconsin?
The Potawatomi people migrated to Wisconsin in the 17th century, around the 1650s. They originally inhabited areas around the Great Lakes and moved westward due to various pressures, including European colonization and conflicts with other tribes. In Wisconsin, they established settlements and became integral to the region's cultural and economic landscape. The Potawatomi have maintained their presence in Wisconsin and continue to play an important role in the state's Native American heritage.
What is Wisconsin's longest river?
The Wisconsin River is a tributary of the Mississippi River in the state of Wisconsin in the United States. At approximately 430 mi (692 km) long, it is the state's longest river. The river's name, first recorded in 1673 by Jacques Marquette as "Meskousing", is rooted in the Algonquian languages used by the area's American Indian tribes, but its original meaning is obscure. French explorers who followed in the wake of Marquette later modified the name to "Ouisconsin". This was simplified to "Wisconsin" in the early 19th Century before being applied to Wisconsin Territory and finally the state of Wisconsin. Answered by: QWERTY
