The longstanding relationship between Central Michigan Football and the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe is one we deeply value and hold in the highest regard. We are honored to recognize the Seven Grandfather Teachings and carry their values with us onto the field.
Across the team, the front bumper of each helmet features one of seven icons, each representing a different Grandfather Teaching. The corresponding teaching appears on the back bumper, written in English on some helmets and in Anishinaabemowin on others. Together, these designs celebrate the teachings and our meaningful connection with the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe.

We are pleased to announce a new resource all about the history of Mt. Pleasant -- the "Historical Mount Pleasant in Postcards" site.

https://clarke.omeka.net/exhibits/show/mt-pleasant-postcards/mt-pleasant-postcards

This web exhibit, providing researchers with free access to over 100 Postcards, is in memory of J. Hudson "Hud" Keenan, a Mount Pleasant native, CMU alum, accomplished historian, and an avid lover of postcards. After his passing earlier this year, many who held Hud near and dear honored his legacy with generous donations to CMU in his memory, and those donations supported scanning the postcards and creating this website.

With ample descriptions providing historical context about each snapshot, this site will be invaluable for those curious about Michigan's Oil Capital!

Pictured is a postcard, scanned as part of the Hud Keenan Memorial Postcard Project, depicting passengers and carriages waiting at the Mount Pleasant Railroad Station, a stop on the Ann Arbor Railroad. Since 1996, the building has operated as the privately-owned Mountain Town Station restaurant.
