Michigan's Sacred White Rock and Thumb Salt Industry
White Rock – Sacred Stone of Michigan’s Thumb
Before highways and harbors, there was the White Rock. Just offshore north of Forestville, this massive limestone outcrop was a sacred site to the Anishinaabe, who left offerings to the Great Spirit for the land’s abundance.
This episode traces the spiritual, cultural, and historical importance of White Rock—from its ancient role as a ceremonial site to its mention in explorer Henry Schoolcraft’s 1820 journal during his expedition with Lewis Cass. Once towering and visible from miles away, today it sits mostly submerged, its legacy hidden but not forgotten.
Adapted from Thumbwind.com, this is a layered story of reverence, removal, and remembrance from Michigan’s Thumb.
