The Lake Huron area of the Upper Great Lakes region, an area
spreading across vast parts of the United States and Canada, has
been inhabited by the Anishnaabeg for millennia. Since their first
contact with Europeans around 1600, the Anishnaabeg have interacted
with-and struggled against-changing and shifting European empires
and the emerging nation-states that have replaced them. Through
their cultural strength, diplomatic acumen, and a remarkable knack
for adapting to change, the Anishnaabeg of the Lake Huron
Borderlands have reemerged in the twenty-first century as a strong
and vital people, fully in charge of their destiny. Winner of the
North American Indian Prose Award, this first comprehensive
cross-border history of the Anishnaabeg provides an engaging
account of four hundred years of their life in the Lake Huron area,
showing how their history has been shaped and influenced by
European contact and trade. Three Fires Unity examines how shifting
European politics and, later, the imposition of the Canada-United
States border running through their homeland continue to affect
them today. In looking at the cultural, social, and political
aspects of this borderland contact, Phil Bellfy sheds light on how
the Anishnaabeg were able to survive and even thrive over the
centuries in this intensely contested region.
