In the days before Europeans came into the area, tribes of Woodland Indians lived and prospered among the lakes and trees of Southeast Michigan. There is a hilly region in what is now called Lenawee County that is known as the Irish Hills area of Michigan.
It was here on the high north shore of Washington Lake that, according to legend, the great Indian Chief Tecumseh regularly met with the members of his tribe during the War of 1812. The site was next to where two old Indian paths intersected, later becoming US-12 and M-50, two of the oldest roads in the Midwest. One path was used by Native Americans traveling from Lake Erie to Chicago and the other one used by Mississippi Valley tribes who came east each year to hold powwow.

The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed more Native Americans living on reservations in South Dakota to seek homeownership, a potential step toward greater family financial security and community stability in some of the state’s most impoverished regions.
But long-standing institutional, economic and geographic barriers continue to block some reservation residents from buying a home.
During the first six months of 2020, 193 people enrolled in first-time homebuyer and financial literacy classes offered by reservation-based community development groups as a prelude to buying a home. During all of 2019, 190 people enrolled in the courses, according to data collected by the South Dakota Native Homeownership Coalition.
