The rich Native American heritage in Ypsilanti, MI, Ann Arbor, and Saline is a testament to the cultural and spiritual significance of these lands.

Damage to our waterways 

Historically, Ypsilanti and its surrounding regions have been sacred grounds for Indigenous communities, with waterways, trails, and sites like Frog Island playing pivotal roles in spiritual practices. The removal and outright destruction of rock stacks and Indian markings, key to spiritual rites, are not just an assault on our history – they are a direct threat to our heritage and spiritual rights.

To honor the deep-rooted cultural connections and the contributions of Native American communities, immediate action is required to clean up and preserve these historical sites. It's essential that history markers are erected to acknowledge these pathways and waterways, ensuring they are recognized and respected as part of our shared history.

Reversing the damage done means not only cleaning and maintaining these sacred sites but also reinstating their rightful status in our community's cultural landscape. Embracing a mindset of preservation and respect is crucial.

It is vital to protect these spiritual and historical areas for current and future generations, honoring the integrity of the land and people who have nurtured it for centuries. Doing so ensures the survival of practices and traditions that have been unjustly diminished.

Sign this petition to urge the responsible authorities to act swiftly in restoring and preserving Ypsilanti’s Native American heritage, safeguarding the spiritual rights and historical essence for my children, grandchildren, and the entire community. Stand with us in protecting our legacy.
