Gives an overview of the history of the 11 federally-recognized tribes in Wisconsin from their origin to the present day. Discusses the influence of Europeans on the tribes, including French fur traders, settlers, treaty negotiations, and efforts of the tribes to retain land in Wisconsin. Describes tribal customs and traditions and how these were almost lost but are now being passed on to the young, and shows how gaming revenues are being used to support tribal governments and provide essential services to members of the tribes.
