Stockbridge-Munsee Community

The Arvid E. Miller Memorial Library and Museum will document tribal history by working with the community to gather stories and photos. The project will culminate in the creation of a history book with photographs and stories of individuals and families who make up the tribal membership—past and present—and serve as a pictorial representation of the Mohican Nation as it survived through various phases of removal from upstate New York in the 1700s to the current reservation in Wisconsin. Community members will participate in outreach events around kinship and genealogy, home visits and interviews, and family story sharing. Through participation in these events, community members can trace their Mohican genealogy roots, identify ancestors, and understand how their family fits into the overall history of the Stockbridge-Munsee.
