I raised in the lower Detroit River area of Michigan (Wyandotte), so I got a large dose of local native history thru school. I have researched and applied that knowledge to being a presenter in an organization named Project Lakewell. We do presentations for groups about the fur trade era in the Great Lakes. We have a 26 foot replica birch canoe (built by Ralph Frese of Chicagoland Canoe Base), a 20 foot bateau, in addition to a lot of replica gear that a person in the mid to late 1700's would have had or used. Name is 'Sinnanatha', a Shawnee nick-name meaning 'Big Fish', given to me by my Shawnee brothers when we were fighting the 'Anglais' in the Ohio Valley.
