Matsigama

Matsigama lies near the Mackinaw River, amid the prairies and wooded valleys of central Illinois. The river cuts through the Bloomington Moraine, a ridge of sand and gravel left by glacial ice. Its tributaries have carved steep ravines into the ridge, while sycamores and silver maples grow on the floodplain. Kickapoo, Potawatomi, Ojibwe and Ottawa people hunted and fished along the Mackinaw.
