Archaeologists found evidence of a native village (circa 1000 A.D.) located one block north of where you are standing. These prehistoric people fished the waters of Lake Huron and the St. Clair River, hunted game and gathered foods in nearby woodlands. Squash seeds found at this archaeological site indicate that these inhabitants were among Michigan's earliest farmers. To escape winter's harsh winds off the lake, the villagers moved inland during colder months.


When Europeans arrived in the Blue Water Area during the late 17th century, members of the Three Fires - the Ojibwa (Chippewa), the Odawa (Ottawa) and the Potawatomi, all of the Algonquian language group - were the most prominent Native Americans here.
