In the 1930s, businessmen in the Eau Claire area and resort owners in Northwestern Wisconsin, an area decimated by logging, collaborated as a group with the hope of promoting tourism to the area. This group of men and resort owners created the organization Wisconsin Indian Head Country Inc. and to incorporate the reas as "authentic" they created and used an Indian head image. Eighty years later many organizations and businesses around Wisconsin continue to use them on maps and brochures. The purpose behind this research is to learn about the history, origins, purpose, and use of this iconic image and to discuss the local history of the region, including that of Native people and their role in promoting tourism. Recently, there has been much controversy over the use of Indian mascots for schools and professional teams around the country. One image that has been overlooked and is ever so prevalent is the Wisconsin Indian head image.

During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. America’s Dairyland is well represented in the WPA Guide to Wisconsin. Essays on the Badger State’s vital industries—including agriculture, lumber, and dairy—are included as well as an important look at the labor movement of the 1930s. From the Northern Highland and Lake Superior to the Driftless Area and the Eastern Ridges and Lowlands, the states unique geography is also photographically documented.
