The Land Northward

Thousands of ancient slate, copper, clay pieces were discovered in Michigan in the 1800s engraved with drawings and unknown writings. These are collectively known as the Michigan Artifacts.

• Are the Michigan artifacts authentic?
• Who were the people of the Michigan artifacts?
• In what time period did they live?
• Why are the artifacts only found in Michigan?
• Is there a connection to the Book of Mormon?

Artist and researcher David Lindsley addresses these questions and more as he explores various aspects of the Michigan artifacts and how they link with other sources in The Land Northward.
