Les gens Anishinaabe utilissaient les deuce points de repere quand ils naviguaient dans leurs canoes sur le lac gitchi gami .

Chi miigwech, Marty! Though a non-native, the place names should be remembered and I fully support this move.

megwitch Marty for getting this going. Recognizing and honoring our Anishanabe First Nations presence and contribution is long overdue in Marquette County. Suggest adding the county change the name of Squaw Beach Road in Big Bay Area as well. When we use the original language of an area, the Spirit of the land remembers....

May we respect the Anishinabe people's language to provide the historic names of these landmarks that were and continue to be important to these people and their decendants is important to history as well as our present society.

The gift of historical fact is necessary to complete the educational value of the knowledge of this place. I think the oldest known name should be placed where it belongs. It is there in its natural form so let's share its original name with everyone in our time and leave it for all future generations. Lets really be innovative and learn to speak our oldest languages too.

Please return to the original Anishinaabe names. Too much history has been re-written and too many cultures and languages are being lost. The impacts of this is devastating beyond words. The least that can be done is to reclaim that which can be saved.

Good, we were all having so much trouble pronouncing Hogback correctly, Aagiiwe'omaak is much easier!
