My uncle had a dog named gitchagoomy- didn't know it was a real word- see, I learned something today! You get a star!
yes
its actually Ojibwe and its what they called lake superior, it means "big water" and its spelled Gichigami although in the song its spelled Gitche Gumee as it was in the "The Song of Hiawatha" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
