It is called "Gichigami" in the Ojibwe language, which means "big water".
There are MANY Native American languages, not just one. So you would need to ask for your translation in one particular Native American language, not just in "Native American." Asking for a translation in Native American is like asking for a translation in European. The people = Anishinaabeg - (Chippewa/Ojibwe)
In Ojibwe you might use nimino-ayaa (I am fine or I am well).
