  6. Today, there are 12 Federally Recognized Indian Tribes in Michigan. Each of these tribes is an independent, sovereign nation. Sovereignty is a way that tribes govern themselves in order to keep and support their ways of life. Sovereignty means each nation has the power to make important decisions on their tribal lands. Each nation has its own government. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License

  14. One way they try to meet this goal is to be involved in archaeological excavations of Anishinabek sites.

  18. Here is how Mr. Johnson described one of his visits to the M-231 site. It was very exciting to visit the site. I realized that our ancestors occupied this location over 3,000 years ago. We truly are the first people in the Great Lakes region. Many wonderful people have worked hard at the site. It’s important to me to share the knowledge that we have learned about the site with others. We learn from one another.
