Title:
Indian Names in Michigan
Summary:
Indian Names in Michigan–traces the origin of hundreds of place–names given to counties, towns, lakes, rivers, and topographical features of the Great Lakes State. These melodic names that enrich our appreciation for the romantic past of our state record the culture and history of both American Indian and the white settler. Most the Indian names borne by Michigan's cities, counties, lakes and rivers are those of Indian tribes and individuals. Settlers named places not only for the resident tribes, but also for the tribes in the states they had left, and even for tribes in the West that they had never seen.
