[Alberta's Child]

To get a sense of how large Lake Superior is ...

The sun rises in Superior, Wisconsin -- at the far western end of the lake -- about half an hour after it has risen in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario -- at the far eastern end of the lake. If you drive between these two cities along the north shore of the lake through Ontario, the drive will take you about 11.5 hours.

You can fit all of the water in the other four Great Lakes into Lake Superior, and there would still be enough room to add the water from three more lakes the size of Lake Erie.

That is an immense body of water.

The legend lives on from the Chipewea on down from the big lake they call Gitchegoumai.

[woodbutcher1963]

The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake they call Gitchigumi
Superior, they say, never gives up her dead
When the gales of November come early
