FEBRUARY 9 ISSUE ANSWERS (photo to right): This display of Native American tools is in the Romeo Historical Society Archives Museum on North Main Street. The Romeo Historical Society has three different Native American displays. All three have been found in Macomb County. The museum is a regional museum telling the stories of northern Macomb County. The earliest display is from the Paleo Native Americans camped at the corner of 16 Mile Road and Dodge Park Road. 11,000 years ago Lake St. Clair was higher as a result of the melting of the glaciers at that time. This camp was 624 feet above sea level. An excavation was conducted by local Ray Township resident Jerry DeVisscher and the University of Michigan. The RHS has access to 14 of the discovered tools. The second group of Native Americans to arrive in the area was the mound builders. Hinsdale has located forts, mounds and villages in northern Macomb County. These Hopewell or Adena Native Americans were here 3,000 years ago leaving behind their burial mounds. The last group of Native Americans, the ones your fifth-grade teacher told you about was the Potawatomi, Sauk, Fox, Huron, Ottawa, Kickapoo, Ojibwe-also known as the Chippewa and Menominee Native Americans. The label in the photographed collection suggests that the Wyandot Native Americans made these tools. They were found on a Macomb farm, but the name is most likely incorrect. If there is an expert in the area that can identify the tribe correctly, please visit the archives at 290 North Main Street and help us out. R. Beringer, Romeo Historical Society staff
