Indigenous Mid-Michigan Lands, Part 2

The second in a three-part series, this episode continues to examine the historical background behind the Lansing Community College Land Acknowledgement statement by considering how the lands formerly held by the Potawatomi and other Anishinaabeg came into the possession of Euro-Americans. With a focus on the changing political, geographic, and economic circumstances following the American War of Independence, this program takes a closer look at what happened after white settlers from the east came to desire indigenous lands in southern Michigan.Keywords: Anishinaabeg, Three-Fires People, Ojibway, Odawa, Potawatomi, Indigenous America, Indigenous Michigan, Land Cessions, Treaties, Ethnic Cleansing, Genocide, Trail of Tears, Mid-Michigan, Michigan, Lansing, Michigan History, Prehistoric, Land Use, Land Appropriation, Land Acknowledgement, Lansing Community College, Ingham County, Michigan
