Please remove Catherine Morse from the University of Michigan from the
slides. She and I work together and she felt the questions applied more to
my side of the work.
Thx!

The Bodewadmi, the Odawa, and the Ojibwe, collectively named the
Anishinaabe, lived in the lands and the waterways of the Michigami before
the first white settlers arrived here. They continue to live here still,
and the University of Michigan owes its creation to them. The University of
Michigan Library is deeply indebted to the Wyandot and Anishinaabe Peoples,
and we still have much work to do in order to honor the intent and spirit
of the treaty upon which we were founded.
