Here’s a description of the image: Gichi-gami: This is the Ojibwe name for Lake Superior, located in the northern part of the image. Michiganmi: This represents Lake Michigan, positioned to the southwest. Karegnondi: This is the indigenous name for Lake Huron, situated in the central part of the map. Ontari:io/Kanadario: These are the names for Lake Ontario, located in the southeast. The dual naming might reflect different indigenous languages or dialects.
