Brothertown Nation (non-federally recognized Wisconsin Native Nation) –
http://www.brothertownindians.org/
While Wisconsin has 11 “federally-recognized” Native Nations, a 12th nation, the Brothertown, has
continued to struggle to regain federally-recognized status since an act of congress in 1839 unilaterally
compromised their nation’s status while granting US citizenship to the Brothertown members.
The Brothertown (Brotherton) are descendants of the Pequot and Mohegan (Algonquin-speaking) tribes in
southern New England. They became a tribe in 1769 when seven Christian and English-speaking
communities organized and moved to land in upstate New York. They cleared the land, planted fields and
built houses while under intense pressure to again move west.
The Brothertown joined their neighbors, the Oneida and the Stockbridge-Munsee Band of Mohicans, and
planned a move to Wisconsin. The Brothertown purchased land near Kaukauna which the United States
government exchanged for the land called Brothertown Township in southwestern Calumet County. Five
groups of Brothertown arrived in Wisconsin on ships at the port of Green Bay between 1831 and 1836.
Upon arrival, the Brothertown cleared land and began farming after building a church near Jericho.
Today, the Brothertown remain a culturally distinct Indian community with the largest concentration
residing in the Fond du Lac area of east-central Wisconsin.

And Curricula of Note
Stand Up for Justice: The Ralph Lazo Story
By Nikkei For Civil Rights and Redress and Visual Communications
2007 -- Secondary Level
Includes 70-page Teacher’s Guide, activities based on California content standards, posters, historical
information and a 33-minute DVD dramatic re-enactment of the life story of Ralph Lazo and the
incarceration of 120,000 Japanese Americans in concentration camps in the US during World War II. It is
also the true story of a young man’s decision to be a real ally and take action against injustice.
Ralph Lazo, a 16-year old Mexican American, in 1942 voluntarily joined his Japanese American friends and
neighbors and boarded the train that would take them all to Manzanar for the next years. When asked why
he had willingly sacrificed 2 1/2 years of his life with his family to endure life behind barbed wire at
Manzanar (in the California desert, 280 miles north of Los Angeles), he explained that he had to share the
experience of his friends and because he sensed the injustice being perpetrated upon them.
Mr. Lazo was drafted into the US military after turning 18 and fought in the Pacific. He spent the rest of his
life supporting the struggles for justice for his friends who had no choice but to be imprisoned for their
ethnic heritage. He was a teacher in the LA Unified School District and then a counselor at L.A. Valley
College until his death in 1992.
Nikkei for Civil Rights and Redress (NCRR) was founded in 1980 in Los Angeles. NCRR is a
nonprofit civil rights group that was instrumental in obtaining redress and reparations for Japanese
Americans incarcerated during World War II. NCRR’s mission includes educating the public to prevent the
occurrence of future U.S. concentration camps, and it has supported many other groups in their struggles
against injustice, racism and racial profiling.

Visual Communications is a premier Asian Pacific American media arts center, founded in 1970.
