Field notes
The project combines a factual lake primer with a narrow response to a cross-border naming dispute. Its explainer tracks the water’s 1,146 km shoreline, 244 m maximum depth, and roughly nine-million-person watershed, while the shop proposes made-to-order clothing and a waterproof 3-inch die-cut sticker. The page explicitly separates U.S. federal labeling from Canadian maps and law, and identifies the project as independent rather than official.
