Before America... Trail Marker Trees

Season 2025 Episode 1 | 3m 57s

In Waganakising — “Land of the Crooked Tree,” Eric Hemingway (Odawa, Crane Clan) walks Cross Village and Little Traverse Bay to decode crooked (trail) trees: how they were made (weights, braces, stone anchors), what they signal (water, routes, ceremony, burials), and why they endure—language, land, remembrance.
