Editing Saginaw, Michigan (section)

==Etymology==
The name Saginaw is widely believed to mean "where the [[Sauk people|Sauk]] were" in [[Ojibwe]], from ''Sace-nong'' or ''Sak-e-nong'' (Sauk Town), due to the belief that the Sauk once lived there. But it is more likely that the name means "place of the outlet", from the Ojibwe ''sag'' (opening) and ''ong'' (place of).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://clarke.cmich.edu/localhistory/Saginaw.htm|title=Clarke Home—entral Michigan University|work=cmich.edu}}</ref><ref>[http://www.michigan.gov/dnr/0,4570,7-153-54463_54466_20829-54126--,00.html Michigan Counties.] DNR.

When Natives told [[Samuel de Champlain]] that the Sauk nation was on the western shore of [[Lake Michigan]], Champlain mistakenly placed them on the western shore of [[Lake Huron]]. This mistake was copied on subsequent maps, and future references identified this as the place of the Sauks. Champlain himself never visited what is now Michigan.<ref>Saginaw's Changeable Past, by Jeremy W. Kilar, G. Bradley, St. Louis, MO, 1994, p. 15</ref>
