INTRODUCTION This study was originally developed at the request of the St. Ignace Downtown Development Agency in 1989. It is a compilation of existing data which deal with the tri-cultural settlement of St. Ignace between 1670 and 1715. The story of the settlement of the Straits of Mackinac is directly related to the coming of the French into the St. Lawrence valley in the seventeenth century. Lacking an economic base, the French engaged in the fur trade and the Indians became important partners. The Huron and Odawa both played important roles in this trade. As part of the French plan to acculturate the Indians into French colonial society, Jesuit missionaries developed missions among the Huron people in order to convert them to
Christianity. Into this trading partnership and mission experience entered the Iroquois of New York state. They sought to displace the Huron and the Odawa in the fur trade and this led to a bitter struggle. By the late 1640s the powerful Iroquois had driven the Hurona and Odawa westward and caused the Ojibwa to accept the latter in their land. After a migration which took them into eastern Minnesota and northern Wisconsin the Huron and then the Odawa settled at the Straits of Mackinac where there was a plentiful supply of fish for their subsistence. Between 1670 and 1701 the two tribes lived in the vicinity of the newly established Jesuit mission of St. Ignace. It is important to remember that these Indians maintained their independence throughout their residence at St. Ignace. Too often ethnocentrism makes us look at such experiences merely as successful missionary ventures which destroyed Indian culture and ultimately their independence. Throughout the thirty years or more that the Huron and Odawa were at St. Ignace, while some of them did became Christians and were allies of the French, they were also concerned with their independence. They carefully watched the actions of the French in regard to the Iroquois and to the French fur traders who sought to infringe on Huron-Odawa trading patterns. The result of this experience at St. Ignace was that the Indians resisted French
