Best Answer

The first people in what is now called Michigan were the Native Americans. Because they did not keep written record, precisely who they were and when they got there is lost to history.

The Native American living in Michigan when the Europeans began to arrive were were Algonquian peoples constituting several large and many smaller tribes.

The first Europeans to reach Michigan were members of Étienne Brûlé's expedition in 1622. The first permanent European settlement was founded in 1668 on the site where Father Jacques Marquette established Sault Ste. Marie as a Catholic mission to the Ottawa.
