Topic of Virtual Session - From Cadillac to Traverse City: The Historic Old Indian Trail

For centuries, the Odawa and other Anishnaabe peoples have traveled between Cadillac and Traverse City. Since the late 1800s, historians have placed markers along this trail. In 1987, former Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians Chairman Frank Ettawagheshik led the final phase of trail marking, placing the last markers from Lake Mitchell to Grand Traverse Bay after years of research, planning, and community collaboration. Learn about the history of the trail and its new guide map.
