On Hand

Finding Meaning in Michigan's Petroglyphs

In a remote corner of the Thumb region lies the largest collection of petroglyphs in Michigan. The stone carvings were created hundreds of years ago by the Indigenous people of this land. Today, tribal and state partners are working together to preserve the site for generations to come.

GUESTS: 

  • Jillian Talaski, DNR seasonal Interpreter
  • Stacy Tchorzynski, DNR archeologist 
  • Punkin Shananaquet, tribal leader and member of the Gun Lake Tribe
