'''Saginaw''' (Ojibwa: ''sa gi na ng''; "land of the Sauk") is a city and seat of Saginaw County in central lower [[Michigan]]. Founded as a fur-trading post on the eastern bank of the Saginaw River, the city grew into a lumbering center before deversifying into agriculture and auto parts manufacturing. Government mismanagement, and the loss of manufacturing jobs during the past two decades - as well as an increase in crime [http://www.homesurfer.com/crimereports/view/crime_report.cfm?state=MI&area=Saginaw]- led to a significant loss of Saginaw's population.

		+	Paleo-Indian nomads were the first people to arrive in the Saginaw valley several thousand years ago, following the trails of big game; their lifestyle changed into permanent settlements about 3,000 B.C. during the Early Archaic Culture. By 500 B.C. the valley was occupied by the forebears of the Ojibwa - referred to as the Woodland Culture - and when Europeans first arrived in the area the Ojibwa was well-established as a distinct tribe.
