Mackinac

Mackinaw or related spellings is the name of several different places and things, mostly related to the area where Lake Michigan meets Lake Huron. Mackinac is a Native American word which is generally pronounced as Mac in aw. There is also the Mackinac Center for Public Policy and the two Mackinaw sailboat races, the Port Huron to Mackinac Boat Race and the Chicago to Mackinac Boat Race. A "mackinaw" is a short coat of a heavy dense water-repellent woolen, such as Melton cloth, sometimes with a doubled shoulder, first worn by American loggers in the north midwest, mid 19th century, and now universal.
