Armed Menominee Warrior Society members took control of the 175 acre Alexian Brothers estate near Shawano, Wisconsin, holding caretakers hostage for hours. They plan to use part of the property for a school or hospital, saying the land should serve the local Indigenous population. FBI and state authorities deployed as negotiators worked with county officials and tribal leaders. The group claimed tribal land status and vowed to stay, while others argued the estate is not tribal land.
