Description:

Current interpretations of Native American lifeways in the western Great Lakes from the Paleo-Indian through Early Historic periods will be reviewed, with special attention to the State of Michigan. Cultural patterns observed by explorers, traders, and missionaries entering this region in the 17th century provide the frame of reference for an examination of changing strategies for survival reflected especially in the distribution of sites (communities) across the landscape and the nature of activities undertaken from them during the past 10,000 years.
