Burt Lake Burn Out: The Fight for Recognition and Justice
Episode 69
Published 11 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
This episode delves into a profound historical injustice that transpired in 1900, when the Odawa community at Burt Lake, Michigan, was violently displaced by the local sheriff and his deputies. This egregious act of dispossession stemmed from a complicated history of land treaties, which had left the Odawa with reservations amidst ongoing encroachments by settlers.
