History
The Mackinac Bands of Chippewa and Ottawa Indians are descendants of Anishinaabe people who migrated from somewhere in the Northeast to the Great Lakes area[1] (now known as Michigan) sometime around 1500 CE, and the remnants of the Michinemackinawgo who previously inhabited Mackinac Island and the Straits area.[2] Members of the Thunder Bay Band of Michigan were also absorbed by the Mackinac Bands in the mid 1800s. The Odawa, Ojibwa, and Potawatomi people were closely related and affiliated as the Council of Three Fires.
