    We invite you to sail the 107th running of the Chicago to Mackinac race in 2015. Afterwards cruise Michigan's islands and northern harbors. Stearns Boating [email protected] P 312-994-9153 C 847-404-2209 Make the race then take a cruise afterwards. The Race to Mackinac is the world’s longest running fresh water race. Started by a few wealthy Chicagoans who were looking for a fast way to get to their summer retreats on Mackinac Island. Up until now, it was hard and expensive for a non-Chicagoan to sail in this race. If you didn’t know someone with a boat, you would have to bring your own or charter one…both expensive propositions. The J/88 changes all of that. For a fraction of what it would cost to charter a boat, you too can experience the thrill of the race and the beauty of the region on your J/88. We have put together some information to help you think about the possibility and realize how easy it can be to mark this event off your bucket list. THE RACE The Chicago to Mackinac race is on July 11, 2015. For more information on the race to go Chicagoyachtclub.com. Registration is done by email, you must first apply for an invitation. So if you have never done the race it is best to start early. There is a space limit of just over 300 boats. Early application is encouraged as late entrants may not be accepted. GETTING YOUR BOAT TO CHICAGO This section gives you some general information on cost of launching and hauling your boat, and delivering trailers to northern Michigan.

  • French Africans in Ojibwe Country: Negotiating Marriage, Identity and Race, 1780-1890
    French Africans in Ojibwe Country: Negotiating Marriage, Identity and Race, 1780-1890 by Mattie Marie Harper A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Thomas Biolsi, Chair Professor Beth Piatote Professor Brian DeLay Fall 2012 Abstract French Africans in Ojibwe Country: Negotiating Marriage, Identity and Race, 1780-1890 by Mattie Marie Harper Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnic Studies and the Designated Emphasis in Women, Gender, and Sexuality University of California, Berkeley Professor Thomas Biolsi, Chair This project explores changing constructions of identity for African Americans and Native Americans in the Western Great Lakes region from 1780-1890. I focus on the Bonga family, whose lineage in the region begins with the French-speaking African slaves Jean and Marie Jeanne Bonga. Their descendants intermarried with Ojibwe Indians, worked in the fur trade, participated in treaty negotiations between the Ojibwe and the U.S. government, and struggled to preserve Ojibwe autonomy in the face of assimilation policies. French Africans in Ojibwe Country analyzes how the Bongas’ racial identities changed over four generations. Enmeshed in a network of Ojibwe kin ties, yet differentiated from their Ojibwe kin by their status as a family of mixed-ancestry fur traders, the Bongas gained political and social influence in both Indian and white circles. In addition to their social and legal status as Indians, at various times the labels “white,” “negro,” “half- breed,” and “mulatto” were also applied to them.

  • Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac's War
    “Both the Honor and the Profit”: Anishinaabe Warriors, Soldiers, and Veterans from Pontiac’s War through the Civil War by Michelle K. Cassidy A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (History) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Gregory Evans Dowd, Co-Chair Associate Professor Michael Witgen, Co-Chair Professor Susan Juster Associate Professor Scott Richard Lyons Professor Tiya Miles © Michelle K. Cassidy 2016 Acknowledgements During my last year in graduate school, I went on a “final” research trip to Anishinaabe places in western Michigan. I started in Hart and worked my way up to Petoskey, stopping at various county seats to look at government records and land deeds. On my first day, while I was doing research at the County Clerk’s office in Hart, a man wearing a veteran’s ball cap walked in and requested information about several individuals whose last names—associated with Euro- Odawa fur trading families—caught my attention. As he waited for the vital records, he asked why I was sitting in a corner with giant books and we began talking. He knew about the Odawaag in Company K that I was researching and he said he was a descendent of a Company K soldier. We talked about the Odawa soldiers but our conversation quickly turned to contemporary Odawa politics. This dissertation is comprised of many such conversations—both fortuitous and planned—and the encouragement and generosity of many. I would not have written a dissertation on indigenous peoples if I had not taken Michael Witgen’s American Indian history class as an undergraduate.
