correct me if im wrong, but i thought only the eastern portion of the Yoopee was awarded to the Michigan Territory in 1835, Carl...

I am honored because this ship will be the product of workers from two great states. Now, forgive me if I’m a little partial to Michigan here. If you know the history of the U.P., you know that in 1835, Michigan was shrewd enough to acquire Menominee and the rest of the Western U.P. from the Wisconsin Territory. “Acquire” might not quite be the right term – basically, we stole it, but we stole it fair and square.
...and that the western Yoopee containing the city of Menominee was not granted to MI until later.

not to mention that the "Toledo War" award was in disregard of any Native American claims that still applied to the Yoopee by treaty, if im not mistaken?
