Episode 28, Part I: The Native American Great Lakes and the Conquest of Michigan, Part I
Description
In this episode, we’ll be learning from renowned historian Matt Siegfried about the histories of different Native American communities in Michigan and Ohio, with some special focus on Southeast Michigan and the Huron River valley, including where modern day Ypsilanti stands and where Maguago’s town once stood. We’ll be looking at the communities who thrived around the Great Lakes, through the lens of the American conquest of the land now known as Michigan. We’ll learn together about the ways Native Americans resisted conquest in this area and where many of these communities live today.
