Menominee Tribe Posts Agendas for Multiple Mid-January 2026 Meetings

The Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin posted agendas for a cluster of public meetings held in mid-January that shape tribal governance, cultural programming and election oversight. Two meetings on Jan. 15 and the General Council gathering on Jan. 17 have taken place, while two commission meetings are scheduled for today, Jan. 20.

On Jan. 15 the Tribe held a Public Hearing Regular Meeting at 4:30 p.m. in the Menominee Tribal Office Boardroom, followed at 5:00 p.m. by a Menominee Tribal Legislature Regular Meeting with an amended agenda in the same boardroom. The amended Legislature agenda was posted on the Tribe's meetings calendar, which provides links and instructions for viewing meeting materials. Tribal leaders and community members used those posted materials to follow the discussions and decisions.

The Tribe convened its General Council Annual Meeting on Jan. 17 at 9:00 a.m. in the Menominee Casino Resort Convention Center. The General Council is the primary membership forum for the Tribe, and the annual session brings together enrolled members to address governance matters and community priorities. Agenda materials for the annual meeting were made available on the official MITW calendar prior to the gathering.

Today, Jan. 20, two regular commission meetings are on the calendar. The Menominee Language & Culture Commission met at 4:45 p.m. in the Menominee Language & Culture Building; the Election Commission held a regular meeting at 4:45 p.m. in the Wilmer Peters Judicial Center Conference Room. Both meetings are listed as public and their agendas and supporting documents are accessible via the Tribe's meetings calendar.

For Menominee County residents and tribal citizens, the postings are more than scheduling notices. Public hearings and Legislature sessions set budgets, ordinances and programs that affect services, employment and local economic activity. The General Council Annual Meeting is a central civic moment where membership-level decisions and reports are presented. Language, culture and election commissions carry forward priorities that touch daily life - from preserving Menominee language and cultural programming to ensuring the integrity of Tribal elections.

The Tribe's calendar provides the agenda links and instructions needed to review materials in advance or to follow outcomes after meetings adjourn. Because two commissions met at the same time today in different locations, community members with roles in multiple bodies may need to check posted minutes or follow-up materials to track decisions across meetings.

Going forward, residents who want to stay informed should consult the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin meetings calendar for agenda updates, posted materials and notice of future public meetings. Those documents will show how the Tribe is addressing governance, culture and election administration in the months ahead.
