French-Indigenous families were a central force in shaping Detroit's history. Detroit's Hidden Channels: The Power of French-Indigenous Families in the Eighteenth Century examines the role of these kinship networks in Detroit's development as a site of singular political and economic importance in the continental interior. While the French state viewed Detroit as a decaying site of illegal activities, the influence of the French-Indigenous networks grew as members diverted imperial resources to bolster an alternative configuration of power relations that crossed Indigenous and Euro-American nations. By the mid-eighteenth century, French-Indigenous families had achieved a great amount of power, which they would maintain as British imperial presence splintered on the eve of the American Revolution.
