Water Walkers. Top Story - September 2023.
Lake Superior is a big lake. Some say it is an inland Sea. My Anishinabe people call it Gitchigama or the Great Sea. Lake Superior is a very large body of water that some people consider to be an inland sea. It is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area and the third-largest by volume, holding 10% of the world’s surface fresh water. It has a coastline of nearly 10,000 miles and spans across the border between Canada and the United States1. It is also home to many fish species, islands, and shipwrecks23. The name Lake Superior comes from the French term le lac supérieur, meaning the upper lake, because it is above Lake Huron4. However, the Ojibwe people who live around the lake call it gichi-gami, meaning great sea4. This name reflects the lake’s immense size and power, as well as its cultural and spiritual significance for the Ojibwe people. Quote from Microsoft Bing

The young generation of the village had a mission: to save the ancient trees that were threatened by the logging company. They had grown up listening to the stories of their elders, who told them how the trees were sacred and had a spirit of their own. The trees provided them with food, medicine, shade, and protection from the storms. They were also a source of beauty and inspiration for the villagers, who carved their names and symbols on the trunks and branches.

They had to walk for hours every day, as the drought had made their usual sources of water disappear. Nana carried a clay pot on her head, hoping to fill it with enough water for her family and their cattle.
