Diverse in their languages and customs, the Native American peoples of the Great Lakes region-the Miamis, Ho-Chunks, Potawatomis, Ojibwas, and many others-shared a tumultuous history. In the colonial era their rich homeland became a target of imperial ambition and an invasion zone for European diseases, technologies, beliefs, and colonists. Yet in the face of these challenges, their nations' strong bonds of trade, intermarriage, and association grew and extended throughout their watery domain, and strategic relationships and choices allowed them to survive in an era of war, epidemic, and invasion.
