North American Indians Tribes Of The Great Lakes

THE GREAT LAKES WERE THE MAIN ARENA FOR THE FUR TRADE IN COLONIAL NORTH AMERICA, WHICH DREW EUROPEAN EXPLORERS AND TRAPPERS DEEP INTO THE NORTHERN USA AND CANADA FROM THE 17TH CENTURY ONWARDS. THE MAIN TRIBES OF THE AREA WERE THE HURON, DAKOTA, SAUK AND FOX, MIAMI AND SHAWNEE. ALL WERE DRAWN INTO THE CONFLICTS THROUGHOUT THE GREAT LAKES REGION DURING THE FRENCH-INDIAN WAR, AS WELL AS THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
