Lake Huron was indeed given that name by the French because the Huron people lived on its shores (Georgian Bay, technically).  However, the Huron people were given THAT name by the French as well.  They actually called themselves "Wendat," which means, basically, "people of the peninsula."\n\nWhere did the French get the term "Huron" then?  The best theory about this is that when the French first encountered the Wendat people, they called them by a French idiomatic term: "les hures," which literally means "wild boars," and metaphorically means "barbarians," or even "hicks."  This was an insult, and this is why the Wendat people prefer their own name for themselves.   \n\nSo, technically, Lake Huron is named for "wild boars!"

"Mississippi" is an Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indian word meaning great river or gathering of waters--an appropriate name because the river basin, or watershed, extends from the Allegheny Mountains in the eastern United States

Ohio - Names after the traditional Indian greeting.\n\nFlorida - Named after Chief Barking Dog's Great Aunt Flo.\n\nArkansas - Named after the method Indians used to make a special type of canoe called an ark.\n\nWisconsin - Named after the great Indian warrior Consin. He is reported to have had the strength of 5 bison and the eyes of an eagle. The are no surviving records as to how he was hung. \n\nAlabama - In ancient Indian comic books, BAM was a form of onomatopoeia used to convey the sound of a tepee falling over.\n\nLouisiana - Not named after an Indian, but rather named to insult them. In the dialect of wampum Indians, Louisiana means lousy Indians.\n\nThe Carolinas - Similar to Louisiana in the sense that it was named to defame rather than honor Indians. So named because Indians had to "carry" all their stuff and get the hell out. \n\nIndiana - While it seems to be named after Indians, the name actually came about because people in Indiana really like Indie music. They like it a real lot.

The St. Lawerence Seaway connects Lake Ontario to the Ocean.  Technically Lake Erie is the only lake providing water to Niagara Falls since the Niagara River flows north.  Lakes Superior, Michigan, and Huron are connected and Huron connects to Lake Erie.  I believe that Superior is fed into by underground and river sources.\n\nApparently there is enough water in the Great Lakes to cover the contentail United States under 9.5 feet of water.\n\nThey add up to about 15 percent of the worlds total fresh water supply.  That alot of water.

Hmm...Sound like you are talking about Cahokia mounds.  Small hills built by the Cahokia Indians, believed to be for burial purposes.  \n\nNow here is the tricky part...there is a town in the area named Cahokia...but the mounds are not there.  The mounds are in Fairmont City.
