Menominee Tribal Enterprises
Menominee Tribal Enterprises joins a tribally governed sawmill to sustained-yield management of the Menominee forest. Tribal law separates the enterprise's management right from ownership of the land, places elected directors inside wider citizen and legislative authority, and requires forest, operating, and financial evidence to keep present production answerable to Menominee sovereignty and future generations.
How can a sovereign nation make a forest sustain community economy and culture across generations without converting either the forest or the enterprise into an expendable asset?
