This lecture synopsis:
Early French explorers, missionaries, and fur traders traveled through Michigan’s waterways into the vast Northern Plains, forging ties with Indigenous nations. In this blend of history, science, and archaeology, you will discover the intrigue of a forgotten national monument, an enduring tragedy, and a little-known chapter of our shared past.
