Still unfinished
A bounded starting path now uses inspected public content, with scope and access limits recorded. This is not comprehensive research or community review.
Assessment recorded October 27, 2026. This is separate from research completion and community review.
Read the remaining booklet pages and its cited scholarship; compare treaty originals, removal records and the experiences of particular families without repeating its erroneous 1832 Indian Removal Act date.
Review additional Munsee and Mohican voices, public language resources and contemporary community publications, with each source’s particular community scope preserved.
The historic exhibit account does not establish current access. Collection objects, elder interviews and repatriation files remain unreviewed. The Stockbridge-Munsee government, wider Mohican/Munsee peoples and Mohegan Tribe of Connecticut are distinct. No community review is recorded.

01
A community account of moves and rebuilding
The 2017 revision of Dorothy Davids’s history follows Stockbridge Mohican moves through New York and Indiana toward Wisconsin, where Munsee relatives joined the community. Selected pages describe settlement in Shawano County following the 1856 treaty and rebuilding homes and government in the 1930s. This is a community-centered introduction; the underlying instruments and fuller experiences of different families remain to investigate.
The community describes the Arvid E. Miller Library/Museum as its official archival repository. One example of sharing that history was Mohican Miles: the Trustees’2021-2022 exhibition account credits the Tribe’s curation and archives. It places that work in a separate Carriage House at the Mission House property in Massachusetts, connecting the Wisconsin community with interpretation in its homelands.

Review additional Munsee and Mohican voices, public language resources and contemporary community publications, with each source’s particular community scope preserved.
