Squaw Island Lighthouse
Located in the Beaver Island archipelago in Lake Michigan, Squaw Island is the most northern of its four islands. While the much larger Beaver Island boasts a colorful history due largely to its one time self-proclaimed king, Squaw Island is home to one of the most attractive lighthouses in the Great Lakes. It is also associated with one of its most moving tragedies. Although the word ‘squaw’ is now regarded as pejorative and politically incorrect, it is thought the island was given that name because Native American women visited its shores in the belief that the island could somehow increase their fertility.
