Talkgroup Description

This talk group is centered on topics related to Lake Superior.  The Ojibwe name has a number of variations depending on various ethnic groups encountering the lake in the past.  The Ojibwe variations are sometimes listed as follows:  "gichi-gami" or "gitchi-gami" or "kitchi-gami".  Other variations include what appears to be the English spelling "gitchi-gummi".  The name means "Great Sea" in the Ojibwe language. The surrounding areas include the North Shore in Minnesota and Canada, the South Shore in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and the South Shore in Northern Wisconsin.
