Keshena, WI

Keshena is the Menominee County seat on the Menominee Indian Reservation, with the Wolf River and the reservation's tribal institutions shaping the local map. The Menominee Nation's government is based here, and the College of Menominee Nation's main campus sits in the community. The name is tied to the Menominee Kesīqnaeh, translated as "Swift Flying," and Keshena Falls on the Wolf River remains an important nearby landmark. Keshena is not just a county-seat CDP; it is one of the main places where Menominee government, education, river country, and forest life meet.
