The first in a three-part series, this episode examines life in Mid-Michigan for the indigenous Anishinaabeg. Part one explores life in the Great Lakes region millennia ago and the cultural differences between the Anishinaabeg and later European colonizers. Content includes a focus on what is known and not-known of the centuries of human existence that pre-date European and Euro-American interest in the region.
