While late 18th and early 19th century accounts describe a Chippewa occupation of the Saginaw Valley, earlier accounts suggest much more ethnic diversity. In order to understand the accounts, it is necessary to understand the relationship between ethnic units and technic ecotypes in the early historic period and to deal with these ecotypes using concepts such as ‘scheduling.’ This approach makes it possible to reconcile both early and late descriptions of the region.

While late 18th and early 19th century accounts describe a Chippewa occupation of the Saginaw Valley, earlier accounts suggest much more ethnic diversity. In order to understand the accounts, it is necessary to understand the relationship between ethnic units and technic ecotypes in the early historic period and to deal with these ecotypes using concepts such as ‘scheduling.’ This approach makes it possible to reconcile both early and late descriptions of the region.
