Wisconsin Attorney General rules on Indian ancestry status in juvenile cases
Vernon W Thomson issued an official interpretation to the state department of public welfare. A juvenile court cannot commit a delinquent child of one fourth Indian ancestry to a state correctional institution if the child lives on an Indian reservation with her mother and acts delinquently on the reservation. The case involves a Menominee reservation girl whose father is Nebraskan Winnebago and mother is a Menominee enrolled member.
