According to Anishinaabe-Ojibwe tradition, Mackinac Island is a sacred place populated by the first people and was home to the Great Spirit Gitchie Manitou. Mackinac Island, by virtue of its location in the center of the Great Lakes waterway, became a tribal gathering place where offerings were made to Gitchie Manitou and where tribes buried their
chiefs to honor the Great Spirit. Native Americans traveling the Straits region likened the shape of the island to that of a turtle’s back and named it Michilimackinac, Land of the Great Turtle.

Find your way to Great Turtle Park using the Mackinac Island Locator Map. Once there, locate the flag pole at the softball/baseball field. From this starting point, while facing home plate, look for the white stone path towards the right. Once at the start of the stone path, walk approximately 14 paces. Box is hidden in what was once a great tree. Please rehide well.
