Saranac missing info

[edit]

People I know from the Village of Saranac are dead set on the existence of some sort of rich native American history that shaped it. There are many local legends about the native peoples of Saranac. However, I can't find any info on Ottowa's influence here. It seems they were just more concentrated in Lowell, Michigan and Ionia. My theory is that Saranac people co-opted their heritage from surrounding areas, and took the native American origins of the town's name as evidence. I hope this isn't the case, as most sources say the name actually comes from Saranac Lake, New York. If anyone has access to references on Ottowan history in Saranac, PLEASE add to the article.
