MANISTEE - Members of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians hope to restock Lake Michigan with a prehistoric fish known for its large size and a back covered with rows of bony plates.
The sturgeon is considered historically important to the tribe and was once a major food source, said Glenn Zaring, tribe spokesman.
"Because of the way the sturgeon have been depleted over the years, we have taken this on as a cultural project, as well as a science project," Zaring said.
