This resolution designates October 15, 2025, as a day of remembrance for the 1900 Burt Lake Burnout in Michigan. It commemorates the forced displacement and burning of homes of the Burt Lake Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians by county authorities acting for a land speculator. The resolution directly honors the Burt Lake Band and acknowledges this historical injustice as part of Michigan's history. As a symbolic gesture, it has no policy or legal effect beyond recognizing the event.
