The nixon chapter was written by the late stanley cutler. He was a professor of history at the university of madison wisconsin. One of the great scholars of the watergate era. This chapter was one of the last things that he wrote before he passed away in 2015.

We are standing in our exhibit the first peoples. It talks about the Indigenous People who lived in michigan for thousands of years before the arrival of europeans. It is one we just recently renovated. The first is this mural that is painted. It shows the story of the anishinaabek people through four seasons.
