Turtle Talk

This MAS meeting promises to be somewhat controversial, given that Michigan professor John O’Shea will be discussing his project in Lake Huron, to which two tribes have objected (BMIC and LTBB):

Dr. John O’Shea from the University of Michigan: Evidence of Early Hunters beneath the Waters of Lake Huron

Dr. John O’Shea from University of Michigan will be discussing his current endeavors to locate ancient landscapes preserved beneath the Great Lakes.  Through the use of underwater acoustic and video survey on the Alpena-Amberley ridge, Dr. O’Shea has discovered the presence of a series of stone features that match, in form and location, structures used for caribou hunting in both prehistoric and ethnographic times.

Here are the objections:

BMIC Resolution re Lake Huron

LTBB declaration re underwater dig

The meeting will run from 9:30 to 4:00 and will be held at the Michigan Historical Center.
