Whitefish Dunes State Park
People of the Dunes
Groups of people occupied Whitefish Dunes during four different periods. While exploring three mock village sites, students will "meet" some of these people and discover why each group came to this area. And, they will learn the importance understanding past cultures has to the present day.
