Unique Marketing Internship

Many internships the Sustainable Development Institute supports involve research, field work, education, and climate change related studies. This summer, a unique internship bridged a gap between the College of Menominee Nation Sustainable Development Institute and Menominee Tribal Enterprises through a marketing internship.

Tashina Williams, recent Marquette University graduate, spent the summer of 2013 not only learning about Menominee Forestry, but also how to implement Menominee values and business ethics into marketing recommendations for Menominee Tribal Enterprises' millwork division.




Take a look at some of Tashina William's work below:

On July 31^st, the High School Sustainability Cohort (SLC) hosted an Elder and Community input day at Mawawceseniyah.  About thirty-five people attended to hear what the SLC has been working on and give the students feedback and input.  Each of the three groups presented their projects—speaking to the action-research project process they had been implemented over the past several weeks.Ron Corn Jr., Menominee language and culture student and teacher, led the high school student and community members in constructing the frame of a wigwam on the shore of LaMotte Lake. Ben Grignon, CMN and Menominee Indian High School art instructor, shared techniques he learned in New Mexico to add decorations a wood fire clay oven.  For the entire story, see the Sustainable Development Institute website.
