St Ignace was founded by Father James Marquette.  Born to a wealthy French family, Marquette, at 17 years old, decided to join the Jesuit order and became a missionary.  The Jesuits assigned him to America as a missionary to introduce Catholicism to the Native Americans. In Michigan, he founded St. Ignace, named after St. Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit Order.  With his charismatic ways, he inspired much loyalty among the Native Americans and learned to speak 6 of their languages.  After dying from dysentery at 38 while exploring the Mississippi River, his remains were eventually returned to St. Ignace for proper burial by the Native Americans.  Today, home to the headquarters of the Chippewa and Ottawa Indians, St Ignace continues to have a high population of Native Americans. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-300x400.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-850x1133.jpg 850w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/IMG_2010-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Today, 2,300 people, of varying heritages, &#8220;nest&#8221; here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>As it is the week after the sailboat race, the marina is quite busy with lots of sailboats pulling into slips and others waiting in que for their turn at the fuel dock.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42-850x850.jpg 850w, https:\/\/cincinnatiprime11.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Image-1-42.jpg 1287w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We just sit back and watch the show!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>St. Ignace is mainly a place for tourists to catch a ferry over to Mackinac Island.
