The Saginaw Chippewa Tribe and state officials have formed a steering committee in hopes of preserving the only known set of Indian petroglyphs in Michigan.

The tribe fears the Sanilac Petroglyphs could be lost forever. The drawings, which could date back 1,000 years, are slowly disappearing due to environmental exposure.

The petroglyphs are part of the state park system. They are located about 100 miles north of Detroit.
