  • Earth Week projects held on Menominee Rez huge success

    By Greg Peterson
    Keshena, Wisconsin (ICC)

    Faculty and students brought their old computers, cell phones and medicines to an e-waste and pharmaceutical collection site at the tribal college in Keshena, Wisconsin, to help a federal Earth Day challenge to clean up the Great Lakes Basin, while younger students have been cleaning up the reservation and whitewashing gang graffiti.

    At the College of Menominee Nation, the e-waste and medicine collections went without a hitch as people turned in hundreds of items during April, 2008, at the campus commons.
