lake michigan

Lake Michigan is the only one of the Great Lakes entirely in the U.S.  This name derives from the Ojibwe meaning "great water"  or "large lake" --- are we seeing the trend here?

lake huron

This one is named for the indigenous Wendat people whom the French called 'Huron' (They are now referred as Huron-Wendat)

I skipped over Lake Erie, but I posted a picture on Friday.  I haven't found another that has the name on the front of the card, which was part of my criteria for this Great Lakes series.  Lake Erie got its name for the indigenous people known as Erie, an Iroquoian speaking nation who lived on the south shore (so, in the U.S.)
