http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/145779956

The Menominee Indian Adult Education Project was part of a program funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs to help tribal members "to earn a livelihood, to conduct their own affairs, and to assume their responsibilities as citizens without special services because of their status as Indians." The project was part of the larger Termination policy. The education project provided specific funds for Menominee adult tribal members to attend post-high school educational institutions including training programs, technical colleges, and universities. The records include the contract between the Department of Public Instruction and the Bureau of Indian Affairs and related correspondence, course information, records of quarterly payments to various educational institutions, reports detailing the activity and progress of the project, records documenting the effect termination would have on Menominee schools, and student records.
