The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin and Stockbridge-Munsee Community welcome you to the Intertribal Timber Council’s 49th Annual National Indian Timber Symposium being held June 8-11, 2026, at the Menominee Casino Resort and the College of the Menominee Nation in Keshena, WI. We would like to welcome relatives, friends, and honored guests, to the homelands of the Menominee and Stockbridge-Munsee people. These forested lands have long sustained our people, and they remain the heart of our culture, spirit, and identity. We come together at a time of great change for our environment. The forests remind us that life is a balance of renewal and responsibility, and that stewardship must guide every choice we make. Just as our ancestors tended this land, it is our responsibility to ensure its health and abundance for the generations yet to come. May our time here be rooted in respect, like the deep roots of the pine, may our dialogue branch outward in strength, like the hardwoods, and may the wisdom shared among us bear fruit that nourishes all our Nations. On behalf of the Menominee Nation and Stockbridge-Munsee Community, we extend our warmest welcome. May this gathering honor the forest, strengthen our bonds, and guide us together on the path of caretaking in a changing world.
