Manitoulin Island /ˌmænᵻˈtuːlᵻn/ (originallyEkaentouton) is a Canadian lake island in Lake Huron, in the province of Ontario. It is the largest freshwater lake island in the world.[1] In addition to the historic Anishinaabe andEuropean settlement of the island,archeological discoveries at Sheguiandah have demonstrated Paleo-Indian and Archaiccultures dating from 10,000 BC to 2000 BC. Manitoulin Island contains a number of lakes of its own. In order of size, its three most prominent lakes are Lake Manitou, Lake Kagawong and Lake Mindemoya. Each of these three lakes in turn have islands within them, the largest of these being Lake Mindemoya's 82-acre Treasure Island, located in the centre of Manitoulin.
