Have You Heard of Agatha Biddle?

The story of Mackinac Island cannot be told without including the life of
Agatha Biddle, an Odawa chief who helped preserve Native-American customs
and traditions during a period of cultural amalgamation in the larger Great
Lakes region. Today, Biddle is remembered for the impact she made on
Michigan's Native-American tribes as well as Mackinac Island society during
the tumultuous nineteenth century.
