While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Noquet (No‘ke,
'bear foot'; another name for the Bear gens (see Noka) of the
Chippewa. W. J.) An Algonquian tribe located by the earliest French
writers about Noquet bay, at the mouth of Green bay, extending north
across the peninsula to Lake Superior. In 1659 they were attached to
the mission at St. Michel, together with the Menominee, Winnebago, and
others.
In 1761 Jefferys, probably on the authority of some
recent French writer, says they were on the island at the mouth of Green
bay, formerly occupied by the Potawatomi. They were never prominent
as a tribe, and were probably absorbed by the Chippewa or the Menominee.
