Drawing on a wide array of historical sources, Theresa L. Weller provides a comprehensive history of the lineage of the seventy-four members of the Agatha Biddle band in 1870. A highly unusual Native and M???tis community, the band included just eight men but sixty-six women, and, unlike most other bands that were typically made up of family members, this one began as a small handful of unrelated Indian women joined by the fact that the US government owed them payments in the form of annuities. In this volume, the author unveils the genealogies for all the families who belonged to the band under Agatha Biddle's leadership, and in doing so, she offers the reader fascinating insights into Mackinac Island life in the nineteenth century.
