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.
There were native Americans in Wisconsin for about 10,000 years. The earliest people were the Oneota. These people eventually became the Sauk, Fox, Chippewa, Potawatomi, and Ho-Chunk (Winnebago). French explorer, Jean Nicolet, did not come to Wisconsin until 1634.
The first people in Wisconsin are the Europeans. They were the ones who came to Wisconsin first that I know of according to a website...
