The Name Game
''“The tribe this steed is based on are located in present-day Green Bay, Wisconsin. A notable individual was Chief Oshkosh, who has a city named for him in Wisconsin.''

''Historically, the Menominee were an open-minded tribe, who entered into mutually beneficial relationships first with the French, for whom they trapped and traded fur, and then the British. The first European-American settlers arrived in the area in the early 19th Century.''

''The late 19th and early 20th Centuries were years of hardship for the Menominee, as they saw their lands absorbed by the state of Wisconsin. In recent years, however, the Menominee have bounced back, first by having their reservation restored, and then receiving income from extensive gaming operations which have improved health and educational opportunities.”''
