She spent three years on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin, Green Bay, where she contributed to developing the First Nations Studies undergraduate program. There she taught courses on Wisconsin Indian Nations, Oral Traditions, Contemporary Issues, and Oneida Ethnohistory, and she also co-taught a class on Cultural Diversity.

What is Eeyamquittoowauconnuck (Brothertown) Day?

This day, by proclamation by the Brothertown Tribal Council, we celebrate not only our Tribal heritage, but the decades of trials that our Ancestors endured (from New England, to New York, Indiana, and on to Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, etc.), and we as a Tribe still endure to this day.

It is a testament that we, as a tribal family, “are still here!  240 years later, to the day, (Nov 7, 1785), following these words “We now proceeded to form into a Body Politick -We named our town by the name of Brotherton, in Indian—Eeyamquittoowauconnuck” (Occom 1785)

All Brothertown, each of whom proudly recognizes themselves as the “Brothertown Indian Nation”, with both our Tribal friends and our Tribal cousins, come together to celebrate Community, with one voice—as a single tribe. Whether in Fond du Lac, greater Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Pacific Northwest, and a multitude of other locations, we are Brothertown and stand proudly together.
