Our history

The Mohican Writers Circle has been meeting since early 2012. We are based in the Stockbridge-Munsee Community in Bowler, WI, with several contributing writers who live further away. Our formation came after members wrote and presented papers for the 2010 Mohican History Conference on the Stockbridge-Munsee Reservation, which was a great success. It was exciting to note that most of the papers selected for presentation were members of the Tribe. Evaluations from the conference clearly showed the need to share more history and stories and focus on our youth. We come from a long line of great storytellers and orators, yet our stories have been too often erased or told by others. Out of this experience and shared commitment to telling our own stories, several of the authors started gathering and Mohican Writers Circle was born.

Our most recent journal was released at Mohican Nation Powwow, Aug. 2023
