Indian Costume at Mackinac: Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century

Mackinac History Vol. II Leaflet No. 1, Mackinac Island State Park, 1972. - 12 pgs. The costumes of the Woodland Indians, unlike those of the Plains of more recent time, present endless conjecture. Artifacts are pitifully few and scattered and surviving examples are almost all without documentation. It is the purpose of this work to describe and illustrate the costumes of Mackinac's Indians from the time of the earliest European contact until 1800. The three major tribes of this area were the Huron, Ottawa, and Ojibwa (Chippewa).
