Excerpt from Material Culture of the MenominiThe Menomini, who now dwell on their reservation in north-central Wisconsin, are a typical Algonkian people in language, belonging to the same sub-group as the Sauk and Fox, whose dialects resemble Cree rather than Ojibwa. While two-thirds or more of the tribe of some 1750 souls now profess Christianity, the remainder are either frankly pagan or are in sympathy with pagan beliefs. The spread of the Peyote religion has been very limited among them, and has met with such determined opposition on the part of the adherents of all other beliefs, that only a few outlying families connected with the Winnebago and the Potawatomi by marital ties have been converted. Of these, some have since sought and received rein statement ln the ancient tribal rites.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
