For over 10,000 years Madeline Island was the place for Indigenous vendors traveling waterways of North America, from Niagara Falls in the East to the Columbia River in the West. Moningwaane’akaaning was a crossroads of historic empires and civilizations.
Once the Council Grounds capital of the Ojibwe Nation, the island hosted fishing camps, ancient villages, games of chance, lacrosse and snow snakes, agricultural and trade markets, an abundance of food and medicine from the woods, dugout/birchbark canoe construction, and seasonal events from treaty payouts and great festivals of song, dance and celebration.
