Because they comprise such a large waterway, they have played a vital role in the lives and histories of Indian peoples who have resided along their shores for millennia. Most Indian groups living in the Great Lakes region for the last five centuries are of the Algonkian language family. This includes such present-day Wisconsin tribes as the Menominee, Ojibwe, and Potawatomi. Some tribessuch as the Stockbridge-Munsee and the Brothertownare also Algonkian-speaking tribes who relocated from the eastern seaboard to the Great Lakes region in the nineteenth century. The Oneida who live near Green Bay belong to the Iroquois language group and the Ho-chunk of Wisconsin are one of the few Great Lakes tribes to speak a Siouan language. Although there have been many differences in language and customs between different Indian tribes, Great Lakes Indian communities have had many things in common. They comprise a general culture called "Woodland" after its adaptation to North America's northeastern and southeastern woodlands. Woodland Indian societies have depended to a large degree on forest products for their survival, and Great Lakes Indians hunted, fished, gathered wild foods, and practiced agriculture for their subsistence. In many parts of the Great Lakes particularly northern Wisconsin Indians depended on wild rice as a dietary staple, while Indians in areas without wild rice generally cultivated corn. Where sugar maples grow, Great Lakes Indians established sugar-making camps in early spring and made sugar from tree sap.

The Ojibwe of Wisconsin signed three major land cession treaties with the United States in 1837, 1842, and 1854, ceding their entire homeland to the U.S. and establishing reservations for four Ojibwe bands in the state. In each treaty, the Ojibwe retained their rights to hunt, fish, and gather on ceded lands in Wisconsin.
Historical Background
A test court case led to a series of appeals and decisions which ultimately resulted in a 1983 ruling from the U.S. Federal Court, affirming the Lake Superior Ojibwe bands' rights to hunt, fish, and gather off-reservation. The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe tribe established an ad hoc commission on racism to examine relationships between Indian and non-Indian communities in northern Wisconsin. As a result of animosities rising from the court's interpretation of Ojibwe treaty-based rights, the commission held a series of hearings to gather community testimony. The commission report called on the Department of Public Instruction and the American Indian Language and Culture Education Board to enact legislation and develop curriculum focusing on Wisconsin Indian history, culture, and treaty rights issues. The American Indian Language and Culture Education Board drafted a resolution (87-1) which called on the Department of Public Instruction and the American Indian Study Committee to enact requirements for teaching Wisconsin Indian history, culture, and tribal sovereignty in Wisconsin's public schools.

Day of Silence to Reverberate
in Wisconsin Schools
By Jamakaya From Deerfield High School to Lawrence University, from Menasha High to Mt. Horeb High, from Waukesha High to UW-La Crosse, and from Neenah High to Wauwatosa East High, students across Wisconsin will observe the Day of Silence. They are joining almost 900 schools nationwide that will participate in the grass roots effort this year. LOCAL OBSERVANCES Marc Korobkin, a senior with the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) at Nicolet High School in Glendale, says that 300 students at his school plan to participate in the Day of Silence. Wisconsin IN Step Korobkin said he hopes the event will help to promote dialogue about the difficulties faced by LGBT students. He thinks that organizing for the Day of Silence has already facilitated greater discussion by administrators at his school. The Day of Silence Project encourages students, especially in high schools, to approach administrators to share their ideas and seek approval and cooperation in planning the day. Korobkin and fellow students submitted a detailed proposal, along with the signatures of 80 teachers and letters of support from parents to gain official support for their action. Rachel Federlin, a senior at Riverside High School in Milwaukee, says the administration there has been very supportive and that between 85 and 100 students will join the Day of Silence at her school.

http://www.uwplatt.edu/~chemep/pharmacy/
The prepharmacy program at UW-Platteville involves two years of study in a selected group of courses covering a wide variety of subject matter. The courses provide the necessary science background as well as an understanding of people and institutions to insure that students completing the program succeed in pharmacy school and in their practice of pharmacy. Since Prepharmacy is a preprofessional program at UW-Platteville and not a major, students should declare a major, typically chemistry, to facilitate advising, special events, and administrative matters. Upon completing the two-year prepharmacy program, taking the PCAT (Pharmacy College Admissions Test), and being accepted by a school of pharmacy, the student enters a three-year program of study. Following graduation, completion of a one year internship, and passage of the state board examination, the pharmacist is licensed to practice. Another option involves a two year program which parallels prepharmacy and an additional two years at another institution leading to either a degree in pharmacology and toxicology or a degree in pharmaceutical sciences. This non-licensed option is selected by students planning to do research and development in new drugs and therapies. The Prepharmacy curriculum includes the following:
  • Biology 1450 (General Zoology) AND 3330 (Genetics) (preferable) or 1350 (General Botany)
  • Chemistry 1140 AND 1240 (General Chemistry) AND 3540 - 3510 AND 3630 - 3610 (Organic Chemistry Lecture and Lab)

by Annette Talis
arry Cain is a passionate advocate for phy ed programs that offer learning opportunities for all children regardless of their skill levels while promoting lifelong fitness. At the same time, he's a harsh critic of outdated methods that are ineffective and leave many children with negative attitudes toward fitness and school in general. Cain worries that many adults who remember the arcane teaching practices of the past, which were designed to sort students for military service, aren't aware of the vast changes that have taken place in phy ed. Likewise, he fears that some of his colleagues are resisting new ideas, which is going to erode support for phy ed programs. Cain believes that quality phy ed can enhance academic performance, support better behavior and lead to healthy lifestyles in adulthood-all vital contributions to any school's success. In contrast, he admits, old-style gym doesn't add much to public school. "The problem is you still have a lot of people teaching old physical education, and you still hear the horror stories about the gym class where the teachers are catering to the athletically talented," Cain explained. "That should be long gone. The new physical education, which isn't really new, is for all students. We want to give them skills, knowledge and attitudes that will help them live a healthy, happy lifestyle."

    BIOGRAPHY Herb Kohl was elected to the Senate in 1988 and re-elected to a third six-year term in 2000. Kohl was born and raised in Milwaukee, where he attended public school. He earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1956 and a master's degree in business administration from Harvard University in 1958. Kohl served in the Army Reserve from 1958 to 1964. Before coming to the Senate, Kohl helped build his family-owned business, Kohl's grocery and department stores. He served as President from 1970 through the sale of the corporation in 1979. In 1985 he bought the Milwaukee Bucks to ensure the basketball team remained in Milwaukee and is recognized as an avid sportsman. During his time in office, Senator Kohl has been recognized as a strong advocate for children's issues. For instance, Kohl sponsored the "Child Care Infrastructure Act," a new law to encourage private companies and institutions to build on- or near-site day care centers to meet the rapidly growing demand for child care. The bill, which was signed into law on June 7, 2001, has been featured in "Working Mother" and "Parents" magazines. Kohl has also been a strong supporter for child nutrition programs. In 2003, he received the "Distinguished Service Award" from the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC), a leading organization that works to eradicate domestic hunger and undernutrition. Additionally, Kohl has received acclaim as a strong defender of Wisconsin's farming tradition. Most recently, Kohl led the effort to create a new, national dairy program in the Farm Bill - one which includes a safety net for all farmers and ends regional cartels such as the Northeast Dairy Compact. The Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation awarded Kohl with the Distinguished Service to Agriculture Award - the highest individual honor given by the Bureau Federation for his continued representation of Wisconsin farmers.
