2020.34.01Description
This book tells the story of individual Native Americans who once walked the Grand River Valley, Lake Michigan’s wooded dunes, and the land between Included are the Chiefs their tribal members, those who claimed both Native American and European dissent, and a few of the whites who played critical roles as they interacted with Indians in the early years of settlement The second half of the book is devoted to an historical directory of Indians in West Central Michigan. The genealogical study includes concise biographical sketches of hundreds of individual Indians. It is difficult to determine where genealogy ends and history begins and often the two overlap. "Footprints" sketches Indian life when the French dominated the area and continues through the decades of British and American governance in the 18th and 19th centuries
