Schurr, University of Notre Dame, USA Aims and scope The Midwest Archaeological Conference Sponsored Symposium held at MAC, Inc. annual meetings is a forum for presentation of problem-oriented current thinking on key midwestern archaeological issues. The publication of such symposium proceedings in the Occa- sional Papers series serves to articulate how innovative breakthroughs and cumulative evidence may question previous interpretations and lead to a new understanding of the midwestern archaeological record. Style Occasional Papers generally follows the conventions of American Antiquity with a few exceptions.

OCCASIONAL PAPERS © Midwest Archaeological Conference Inc 2018 M A C O P No. 2, 2018, 33–54 From Wendake to Chequamegon: Bridging the Wendat Diaspora in Quimby’s Early Historic Period John Creese N D S U Heather Walder N I U In 2016, the Chequamegon Bay Archaeological Survey (CBAS) project initiat-ed efforts to relocate a historically documented multiethnic diaspora village attributed to Odawa and Wendat-Tionnantaté peoples who briefly settled near the shore of the bay circa 1661 to 1670. Investigations along the shore of Chequamegon Bay and the banks of Whittlesey and Fish Creeks, in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, produced no evidence of a seventeenth-century Native American habitation site. Our review of relevant historical sources found that the association of these two locales with Odawa and Wendat settlement is not based on firm archaeological or documentary evidence. We also found that both locales have been transformed by deforestation and subsequent erosion, lake-level rise, and heavy channel aggradation and sedimentation following Euro-American settlement. As a result, two different explanations for the negative findings at these sites are possible: (1) Neither locale was associated with seventeenth-century indigenous settlement, or (2) site lo-cations are correct but are inundated and/or deeply buried beneath over-burden. In spite of these ambiguous results, the project has stimulated an ongoing collaborative relationship with descendant communities and em-ployed innovative field methods aimed at maintaining survey effectiveness while minimizing disturbance and honoring indigenous protocols of respect.
