​I am a third year History major here at Michigan Tech. I am involved with researching how French- speaking people migrated through North America. Since attending school here in the Keweenaw, I have found its diverse history fascinating. Very little is known about the presence of French-speaking communities throughout the region. By engaging with the community and accessing school and work records in the archives, I can better understand how French culture influenced the Keweenaw.
