Manitoulin Island is the Anglicized version of the name Manidoowaaling (ᒪᓂᑝᐙᓕᓐᒃ), which means “cave of the spirit” in Anishinaabemowin (the language of the Ojibwe). Three Indigenous cultures, called the Anishinaabe or “People of the Three Fires,” lived on and around the Island; this was a loose confederation formed by the distinct Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi tribes.
