In accordance with the US GOVERNMENT PUBLISHING OFFICE STYLE MANUAL you are officially to be refered to as a Michiganian. That would make you a native.

The Michiganians reside in the southern half of the state. I call myself a Michigander. Anyone in the lower peninsula is referred to as a 'Troll' by those in the Upper Peninsula because we live 'under the bridge'. We call them Yoopers because they live in the UP (Upper Peninsula).

Of course you can call yourself whatever you like.
Michigan is the reason the Northwest Ordinance is in effect west of the Mississippi (except for Missouri and Arkansas). Also Michigan courts have made it clear that counties are composed of cities, villages and townships (manors). I have uncovered no other source of this information.

Interesting:
Northwest Ordinance
The Northwest Ordinance, officially titled "An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States North West of the River Ohio," was adopted by the Confederation Congress on July 13, 1787. Also known as the Ordinance of 1787, the Northwest Ordinance established a government for the Northwest Territory, outlined the process for admitting a new state to the Union, and guaranteed that newly created states would be equal to the original thirteen states. Considered one of the most important legislative acts of the Confederation Congress, the Northwest Ordinance also protected civil liberties and outlawed slavery in the new territories.

The NW Ordinance is one reason the constitution came about. When created under the Articles of Confederation the NW Ordinance made it clear to the lawyers of the time that they had to have a city to attach territory to. The Articles only had 13 independent countries.
As to Michigan's involvement in the 1830s a miner in Dubuque killed another. They solved the murder by miners court but the trial precipitated assigning areas west of the Mississippi to Michigan. They created Iowa county in Wisconsin and two counties covering Iowa (w of the river from Missouri to the Canadian border). Next they declared the laws in effect in Iowa county (wisconsin) to be in effect west of the river). They never actually mentioned the NW Ordinance by name but that was the only law in effect to apply.
