Lake Superior is the largest of the Great Lakes and is the largest freshwater lake in the world by surface area, holding about 10% of the world’s fresh water. The Ojibwe\/Anishinaabe name for the lake is gitchigami or gichigaaming, meaning “great sea”. This piece was conceptualized during camping trips at each of the five parks, and is meant to express transformative experiences through music and highlight the power of nature connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleeping Giant Provincial Park, the northernmost park included in this piece, is named after a landform that resembles a giant lying on its back.
