2 HISTORY The history of the College of Menominee Nation is a recent chapter in the long story of the Menominee People. The tribe s narrative spans thousands of years. Its land once encompassed a vast hunting, gathering and agricultural range from east of Lake Michigan to west of the Mississippi River. By the 20th Century, tribal land was reduced to a reservation of 235,000 acres. By mid-century, Federal efforts to terminate the standing of the Menominee as a recognized tribe had dismantled a functioning economy and community infrastructure that included schools, courts, industry and health care on the reservation. Through Federal courts, the Menominee successfully won restoration of tribal status in 1973 and began rebuilding their financially and culturally devastated community. As part of that rebuilding, Menominee leaders asked Dr. Verna Fowler to create a College on the reservation to serve the community and strengthen its infrastructure. The College of Menominee Nation began offering classes in January 1993 in borrowed and rented facilities with 42 students enrolled in general education courses. CMN was chartered on March 4, 1993, and in 1994 began classes on its current site in the town of Keshena. At the request of the neighboring Oneida Nation, CMN began offering a small number of professional development courses nearby in the city of Green Bay. Today, CMN is an accredited Land Grant institution offering three Bachelor s Degrees, a variety of Associate Degrees, and several technical diplomas. The flagship campus in Keshena serves two-thirds of CMN s enrollment from nine major buildings. Students who comprise the remaining one-third attend classes in a leased building 45-miles east in the metro Green Bay area. Both campuses welcome students from many American Indian tribes and a broad range of ethnicities and races.
