Identifying and Interpreting Nineteenth Century Agricultural and Natural Resources Sites within the Cultural Landscape of the Waganakising Odawa of Northern Lower Michigan
Author(s): Wesley Andrews

Summary
This paper endeavors to identify the characteristic of Native American farmsteads and agricultural practices during the nineteenth century in the northwest part of the lower peninsula of Michigan. This period was witness to influences from Europeans upon the pre-contact Odawa agricultural system. There are many such sites that still exist and have been studied by the Tribal Historic Preservation Program of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians. Archaeological, archival, and oral historical data are examined to illustrate land use patterns and artifact types towards a discussion creating a footprint for identifying and interpreting regional Native American farmsteads.
