Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annals of Fort Mackinac The name Michilimakinac, or, as the Indians pronounce it, Mishinimakinang, properly signifies "The country of the Mishinimaki" (Thus, Otawanang, the country of the Otawa; Otchipwenang, the country of the Ojibwa; Osaginang [English, Saginaw], the country of the Osaki, or Sac Indians). And, in fact, the term "Michilimaekinac," or, "the country of Michilimaekinac," was by the early French applied to a large portion of the eastern half of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. By degrees the term was restricted to the French and Indian settlements on either side of the strait, and finally to the Island of Mackinac. The French La Pointe de St. Ignace had likewise a broader signification than the present Point St. Ignace. It was applied to the whole of the little peninsula whose basis may be defined by a line drawn due west from the mouth of Carp River to Lake Michigan. Our map shows only the southern half of it. Earliest Inhabitants. The "Ancient miners" of upper Michigan probably connected with the "Mound builders" of the Mississippi Valley, and with the Toltecs and Aztecs, may have had an agricultural out-post at St. Ignace. The vestiges of a mound have been traced in the neighborhood of Point La Barbe. No tradition, however, referring to that people is found among our Indians.
