The 1763 Ambush America Forgot | Before America (E1)

This is Episode 1 of our new Michigan history series — Episode 2 is now live here →    • The Secret Indigenous Trail Trees of Michi...   The 1763 Michigan uprising at Fort Michilimackinac wasn’t a side story — it was the spark that began a chain reaction leading toward the American Revolution. Long before 1776, Odawa, Ojibwe, and Anishinaabe warriors fought to protect their homelands from a rapidly expanding British empire. Their bold strategy, their victory, and the shockwaves that followed reshaped the future of North America. In this episode of Before America, we return to the site of the daring 1763 lacrosse-game ruse that caught the British off guard and set Pontiac’s War in motion. What happened here forced Britain to redraw maps, rewrite policies, and confront Indigenous resistance — and these decisions would ignite anger in the colonies. Michigan’s story is bigger than most people realize. This is one of the places where American history truly began. 📍 Subscribe to WKAR to explore the stories mainstream history leaves out:    / @wkar   📚 RESOURCES & BONUS MATERIAL 🎧 Indigenous Author Spotlight Angeline Boulley discusses her bestselling novel and her next book: https://www.wkar.org/wkar-news/2025-1... 🌾 Wild Rice Harvesting Traditions How manoomin is harvested by Michigan Indigenous communities: https://www.wkar.org/wkar-news/2025-1... 👉 Donate to WKAR today! https://www.wkar.org/supportnews ⭐ TOPICS & KEYWORDS Michigan history, Great Lakes history, Pontiac’s Rebellion, Fort Michilimackinac, Odawa history, Ojibwe history, Indigenous history, Anishinaabe, early American history, American Revolution origins, Before America docuseries, WKAR Michigan #indigenoushistory #greatlakes #nativeamericanhistory
