MADISON, Wis. (AP) — The Madeline Island Museum plans to celebrate the signing of the treaty that created Ojibwe reservations in Wisconsin.
The museum's Treaty Days event is designed to commemorate the Treaty of 1854, which established the reservations and guaranteed the Ojibwe's right to hunt and fish on land they ceded to the government in perpetuity. The treaty was signed at La Pointe, a town on Madeline Island.
