Ankamanta chaskisunki A2

I acknowledge that the University of Michigan, named for Michigami,
the world's largest freshwater system and located in the Huron River
watershed, was formed and has grown through connections with the land
stewarded by Niswi Ishkodewan Anishinaabeg: The Three Fires People who
are the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi along with their neighbors, the
Seneca, Delaware, Shawnee and Wyandot Nations.
