In 1975, a group known as the Menominee Warrior Society took over the Alexian Brothers’ former Novitiate near Gresham, Wisconsin in Shawano County, claiming treaty rights to the property. Various groups responded in different ways to this event, including local residents, the national media, the Menominee Nation of Wisconsin, and the Menominee Warrior Society dissident faction. This digital collection from the Shawano City-County Library consists of news clippings about the event and its aftermath, originally published in the Shawano Leader.
