From the Petoskey News:
MACKINAW CITY — In the Straits of Mackinac region 250 years ago, the French ruled as the British began making their way westward across the U.S. from the eastern seaboard. It was the time period surrounding the French and Indian War, and in Northern Michigan, everything was about to change.
In early autumn 1761, Patrick McGulpin arrived in Michilimackinac with British soldiers as part of the winding down of the French and Indian War. Their arrival ushered in radical cultural change in the previously French-dominated Straits.
To commemorate this period of change and the influence brought by the British, Emmet County, its historical commission and members of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians will host an event, “The Stage for Change,” from noon-3 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at McGulpin Point Lighthouse.
***
On Oct. 15, members of the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians, Historical Commission members and county staff will tell the stories of this era. At 1 p.m., Eric Hemenway, repatriation specialist with the tribe, will present overview information and provide a sense of place for how the Native Americans utilized the land later called McGulpin Point.
Here’s the article from Indian Country Today.
