Wisconsin Native American Representation
The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point exists upon land inhabited by the original indigenous people of this area, including the Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and the many other nations and groups that predate colonial borders. We acknowledge that with colonialization Native American people have been dispossessed of their lands and irreparably changed by the actions of individuals and institutions. We acknowledge our responsibility to understand and respond to those actions. In partnership with the Native American Center, we commit to working together to honor the past, be intentional in the present, and to build our future with truth. UW-Stevens Point is proud to display the flags of the 12 Native American tribes of Wisconsin in the Dreyfus University Center. The following tribal flags are represented on campus: Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Brothertown Nation Forest County Potawatomi Ho-Chunk Nation Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin Oneida Nation Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa Sokaogon Chippewa Community - Mole Lake Band of Lake Superior Chippewa St. Croix Chippewa Indians of Wisconsin Stockbridge-Munsee Community Band of Mohican Indians
