The Forest
 Native American peoples found that Michigan was a good place to live. They
caught fish in the lakes and streams, and hunted deer in the forests. They
picked berries and harvested wild rice. In the spring, when the maple sap ran,
they made maple sugar. In some areas, they grew corn and other crops.
The People of the Three Fires—the Chippewa, Ottawa and Potawatomi—and
other tribes made Michigan their home.
