Battle Point Site on the Grand River in Crockery Township preserves the remains of Fort Village and an Odawa burial ground used roughly between 1815 and 1835 under Chief Onamontapay. Its story reflects the disruption that followed the 1836 Treaty of Washington, when Potawatomi chief Shiawassee tried to rally Odawa and other Native groups against European settlers before leaving the area. The Odawa village was then abandoned, although some families stayed nearby for decades and a Native American school opened there in 1855. Burials exposed by erosion in the 1950s and excavated in the 1950s, 1971, and 1972 yielded trade goods that illuminate Native life and exchange in the early nineteenth-century Grand River region.
