Wawa is Ojibwe/Chippewa, not Lakota, but yep, it’s the word for “goose”.

Sounds silly to non- Mid-Atlantic folks I know, but I can’t hear the name without my mouth watering. Mmmmm....hoagies.

I was trying to remember what tribe it was, I stand corrected. :)

The closest one to me is in Short Pump. The one with the new lawn ornament is about an hour away.

Dang, now I need some lunch.

Its always confusing to me, because I keep thinking it should be Lenape! The Ojibwe didn’t live anywhere near Wawa, PA.

And would “Cohonks” be any worse a name? ;)
