Manitoba has Winnipeg city and Lake Winnipeg. Winnipeg is the capital of Manitoba. Manitoba means "the straight of the Spirit" in Cree. Winnipeg means "murky water" in Cree.
Pekwachnamaykoskwaskwaypinwanik Lake is Canada's longest place name. It is Cree for "where trout are caught by fishing hooks." It's in Manitoba too.
This the video we got the information about Cree names from.
We got to Winnipeg on Friday afternoon. We are now 2827 km from Tofino! This is a Grampa Walrus at the Assiniboine Park Zoo in Winnipeg (photo taken in 2019).
