Before the present era, the Michigan peninsula was long occupied by bands of the Potowatomi and Ojibwe of the Superior Band of Chippewa Indians.. The United States government forced the tribes to cede their extensive territories to the federal government, in exchange for annuities and small reservations. The federally recognized Match-E-Be-Nash-She-Wish Band of Pottowatomi has a reservation in just west of Barry County.
