Heavy traffic on main street along the river
TK#» main flam i— • a
The main stem at Detroit in 1700
was not a road t>ut a river and heavy
traffic marked its passage rugiu and
day
When evening came the river came
alive with the sounds of life after dark
the music of the night Many Indians
came gliding by. headed for ttJeir
camps or their favoraite fishing places
Overhead was the occasional whistle
of a crane or tl»e call of a dove In the
background was heard the staccato
chop of thousands of fish jumping in tbe
shallows along tbe shore
From the fort nearby we hear the
sound of a violin and tbe insistent
pounding of a dozen feet dancing
French roundel Occasionally a ba
teaui loaded with merchandise would
sbp in through the watergate at Poocbartraln
SOL'TH OF tbe fort there is another
rhythm sorwwbat alien to the rmisic of
the violin
Tbe sound is a primiUve. insistent
pounding^if,an Indian drum This tomtom
beat is echoed and re-echoed from
a camp across tbe river What does this
mean* Is it peace or war 1
We -aee bearing the drums »f the Potowatomie
from their camp about
where tbe Ambassador Bridge crosses
the river today They are signalling to
their fnends, the Hurons. who live directly
across the way where the bridge
enters Canada
Tbe Hurons are Iroquois and the
Pots are Algonquin How can these
two traditional enemies find so much
to talk about"* For many years they
have enjoyed a kind of drumbeat communication
that seems to be meaningful
to both of them, but no white man.
as far as 1 know has ever translated it
Maybe its only purpose if just friendship.
communication peace And it
worked'
When the Iroquois of the Lake Ontario
region invaded this territory the
Hurons were forced to flee, and they
found shelter with their Potowatomie
neighbors across the river That is bow
the Hurons came to settle in the valley
of tbe Rouge
CADILLAC WROTE to his king Lou
is XIV in 1701
"We have fish in great abundance,
and it could not be otherwise, for this
river is inclosed between two lakes
(The Cadillac papers may be found in
Volumes 33 and 34 of tbe Michigan Pioneer
and Historical Collection) Cadillac
s inventory showed mor%than 1,050
barbed fish hooks, and they were not
all for barter Every day the runabout
canoes, or Piroques, of the French
were out on the river fishing for their
supper The piroques were dug-out
canoes made of logs and were in daily
use for traveling between the little ribbon
farms and the fort
Bateaux, large flat-bottomed boats,
were used for transport Often one
Frenchman in a piroque would be towing
a bateaux loaded with farming
tools and seeds
Cadillac's river, tbe old records say,
had more fish of a greater variety than
any other place in tbe world It teamed
with salmon muskeJonge. wall-eyed
pike, catfish, bass and dozens of other
varieties It was not uncommon for the
Indians, who spearfished more
they used hooks, to impale two or three
fish with one stroke GUI nets also were
commonly used
At dawn the marshland air was filled
with the rushing wings of thousands of
birds Tbe settlers records speak of a
sky alive with the morning sound of
singing birds Cadillac wrote, "Game is
very common as there are wild geese
and all kinds of wild docks There are
swans everywhere There are quails,
woodcocks, pheasants There are so
many turkeys that 20 or JO could be
killed at ooe shot There are partridges,
hazel hens, and a stupendous number of
turtle-doves
"I have seer birds of rare beauty
Some have a plumage of beautiful red
fire color, the most vivid it were possr
bie to see I have seen others an vettow
with Uils«igger than their bodies and
they spread out their tails as the
peacocks do I have seen others of a sky
blue color with red breasts There are
many cranes, grey and white; they
stand higher than a man The savages
value these greatly on account of their
plumage with which they adorn them
selves "
BEFORE WE leave the' river we
must mterview the gossiping women
washing on the dock
What is story of the day"* It's the im
pending arrival of Mme Cadillac and
Mme. deTonty They are coming from
Montreal with their children and plan
to make their home tn Ville d'Etrott or
so the story goes Why would they leave
tbe luxuries of their own manors to live
in this wilderness, one wonders To be
with their husbands, ooe replied Another
one said, it is to give tbe lie to the
Jesuits who have said that this place is
not fit for man or beast
What is she like, this Mme Cadillac?
Ill tell you She is greedy like he is I
knew ber in Ste Ignace She got control
of a boatload of furs from an old Indian
who did not intend to give them away
A shrewd trader that one Sharper than
be Watch out for ber "
"I don't believe, it." another one said
She has a lovely face Not evil that
face "
And so the wild speculations went, on
and on Half-truths, more lies, repeated
over and over How much did they
know 0 How much did they really believe
^ Time will tell
In September 1702, Cadillac wrote to
tbe court. "You are convinced. My
Lord, that I have never had Ln view
anything save the propagaUon of the
Faith, the glory of tbe King, the care of
his interests and the benefit of the colony
And. Cadillac continued. How can
these barbarians be made Christians,
unless they are made men first? How
can they be made men unless tbey are
humanized and made docile"' And bow
can tbey be tamed and humanized ex
cept by their companionship with a civ
ilized people'' How bring them into subjection
and make them subjects of the

But Louis XIV did not because be
could not afford the expense He did
not give Cadillac absolute control or

brewed in paradise And the story
of that conflict is the subject of the
