The Menominee Restoration Act was a direct impact due to the effort of Ada Deer. This Act was signed by President Richard Nixon on December 22, 1973. It restored tribal supervision over property and members; it recognized sovereignty to the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin. This Act also gave American Indian tribes access to federal services. After the signing if this Act, the Menominee Restoration Committee was created which would work as an interim authority and be in charge of the new drafting of tribal constitutions; due to the Menominee Restoration Act, the Termination Act of 1954 was repealed.
