Before America is a cinematic documentary uncovering the Indigenous histories of Michigan long before the United States existed. From the 1763 uprising at Fort Michilimackinac to Odawa trail trees and the overlooked women of Fort Detroit, the film reveals how Anishinaabe nations shaped Great Lakes history and helped spark the chain of events that ultimately pushed the American colonies.
