After sections on the early history of Wisconsin Wisconsin became a state on May 29, 1848, but the land that makes up the state has been occupied by humans for thousands of years. The history of Wisconsin encompasses not only the stories of the people who have lived in Wisconsin since it became a state of the U.S. native peoples and on the arrival and effects, both positive and negative, of the arrival of the Europeans, Loew sketches the history of the Ho-Chunk, the Menominee, the Potawatomi, the Mohican, the Oneida, the Brothertown and six bands of Ojibwe.
