So fascinating."Michigama" got me thinking about "Gitche Gumee" (which is "Lake Superior" in my colonizer language).
"gichi-gami" is the Ojibwe name and it means "great sea."
"Gitche(e) Gumee" is referenced both in the song "Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" by Gordon Lightfoot and "Song of Hiawatha" By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Thank you for the history lesson. I appreciate it very much.
