St. Ignace, Michigan: Feeding a Village
Long ago the the St. Ignace area was inhabited by First Nation People, known as Ojibway and Ottawa. Actually these names refer to the languages they spoke. The people called themselves Anishnabek. The land was rich with forests for hunting and gathering food and natural resources. The waters were full of fish (gigoon or giigoonhik). Prairies provided flat land for villages, gathering together as a community and gardening. Click on the links below to see how they lived, traveled and ate.
