Native Americans moved into the region after the glaciers were gone, and the Old Copper Culture -- named for the metal the people mined in Michigan's Upper Peninsula -- began about 4000 BC. At the time of European contact, the principal tribes were the Ottawa, Ojibwa and Potawatomi. They lived in small bands and depended largely on hunting and fishing, though some agriculture was practiced in the southern part of the state.
