    Does anyone know anything about the pink and white striped shard shown in the photo? For reference, the shard was found in the Shiawassee River in Michigan in the Metro-Detroit area. The Shiawassee River valley was inhabited by the Indigenous tribes before the area became heavily populated. Any help is welcomed!

    Welcome, Sarah. Think we can safely say the pink & white striped piece is not Ojibway. Midden heap of a farm house, perhaps. One of my great grandmothers wrote a history of Shiawassee County, in verse.

    I don't know older NA pottery that well, but that looks like an 18th or 19th C relatively commercial pink glaze to me.
