History & Context

Lake Superior History Lake Superior, located in North America, is the largest of the Great Lakes by surface area and the third largest freshwater lake in the world. The lake has a rich history, spanning thousands of years, and has been shaped by the movements of glaciers, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the impact of industry. Before the arrival of Europeans, the region around Lake Superior was inhabited by various indigenous tribes, including the Ojibwe, the Huron, and the Dakota. These groups fished, hunted, and gathered food from the lake and its surrounding forests. In the 17th century, French explorers, traders, and missionaries began to arrive in the area, establishing fur trading posts and missions. The British gained control of the region after the French and Indian War in the mid-18th century.
