Wisconsin School Forces Native American Girl To Remove Her Traditional Menominee Medicine Pouch   November  2015 | by Amando 
        
A school in Wisconsin has forced a Native American teen to remove her traditional Menominee
medicine pouch from her neck.

The traditional Menominee medicine pouch is used for prayers and is a common practice among many Native American tribes across the United States.
According to the Free Thought Project, on October 21, 2015 a 13-year-old Native American student named Rosella Kaquatosh, was removed from class before school administrators confiscated her sacred medicine pouch. The incident happened in the village of Gresham.
The girl was reportedly waiting in the school lunch line when a kitchen employee noticed her wearing the medicine pouch like a necklace. The kitchen employee then demanded that she remove the pouch.

With the help of other administrators in the school, Rosella was forced to remove the pouch.
 
The school took the tobacco out of the pouch and sent Rosella back to class. School authorities later forced her to tuck the pouch inside her shirt, even though the tobacco was removed.
The Free Thought Project reports, “It seems as if the school was as offended by the pouch itself as they were by the tobacco inside.”
