The 500-year Great Migration of the Anishnaabeg is one of the defining elements of Ojibway Culture. Traveling from the Atlantic seaboard via the St. Lawrence Seaway, the Anishnaabeg journeyed westward through the Great Lakes and along the southern shores of Lake Superior, known as Gichigami, or “Big Water” in the Ojibway tongue. This project aims to explore the historic and contemporary significance of this extraordinary migration within the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore through the written and oral traditions of the Anishnaabeg, who historically journeyed and dwelt along this route, and whose descendants continue to live throughout the Upper Peninsula and beyond.
