SUMMARY:Biddle House\, featuring the Mackinac Island Native American Museum\, Opening Day
DESCRIPTION:Explore A Time of Change as the Biddle House\, featuring the Mackinac Island Native American Museum\, opens for the 2027 season! Part of Historic Downtown Mackinac. \nStep into the home of Agatha and Edward Biddle\, merchants who moved in around 1830. This was a time of change\, and the 1830s were critical to the Biddles for another reason: as an Anishnaabek woman\, Agatha and other indigenous people witnessed their culture subjected to immense changes. The decade transformed the Anishnaabek\, linking old ways with Michigan’s modern indigenous culture. \nThe continuing story of the Anishnaabek of northern Michigan is not always a happy one. It is a story of battles won and lost\, promises made and broken\, and cultures repressed and resurgent. Most importantly\, the story in which the Biddle family played a role is one that continues today. This exhibit\, created in conjunction with tribal partners\, explores that story and how it still resonates on Mackinac Island and throughout northern Michigan. #thisismackinac
