Transcript:
Known as the Great Lakes State, Michigan looks like a hand, and is easily identifiable on any map of the United States and also from outer space. It's located in the northern Midwest of the USA and borders the Canadian province of Ontario. Michigan is called the Wolverine State and is divided into two peninsulas with a land area of 150,000 square kilometers. The word Michigan (pronounced Mishigan, not Mitchigan), comes from the Native American word Mishigamaa, which means large lake. Michigan has the longest freshwater coast in the world: more than 5200km of shoreline. With its population of almost 10 million, Michigan is the 8th most populous state in the United States. Almost 40% of the state's population lives near Detroit, the largest city, while only 3% live in the entire Upper Peninsula.
The French discovered Michigan in the 1600s and founded the city of Detroit in 1701. During the 1700s control of Michigan alternated between the French, the British, and the local Native Americans. In 1796 the British finally abandoned Detroit and their forts on the Great Lakes. Michigan became a territory in 1805 and the 26th state in January
1837.
Michigan is known primarily for two things: automobiles and its beautiful nature.
At the beginning of the 1900s Henry Ford revolutionized auto production by developing the moving assembly line. He and his fellow auto manufacturers (Olds, Buick, Dodge, and others) helped transform private life in the United States and created an economic boom in Michigan that attracted immigrants from all over the world. Today, General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford still produce almost 25% of all cars made in the United States. In addition to manufacturing automobiles, Michigan also builds 50% of all office furniture made in the USA, and is home to Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, and Kellogg's, all of which manufacture products people worldwide use on a daily basis.
As a native Michigander, I am proud of my state's beautiful scenery. Tourism is one of Michigan's largest industries. Tourists in Michigan spend around $17 billion per year visiting the state's amazing nature and its cultural heritage. Among our most spectacular sites are the Sleeping Bear sand dunes along Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island (a uniquely historical island free of automobiles), the Mackinaw Straits bridge (at 8km in length it is the world's third largest suspension bridge), and the Upper Peninsula with the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore, the Porcupine Mountains, Tahquamenon Falls, and Isle Royale National Park. Michigan has over 11,000 lakes and is a paradise for fishing, hunting, canoeing, skiing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. We also have several thousand kilometers of pristine beaches with white sand and crystal clear aquamarine water. The climate is ideal for the production of cherries, apples, and Christmas trees—all of which are products that Michigan exports in large quantity across the United States.
Culturally and educationally Michigan also distinguishes itself. Our 15 public universities, 56 private colleges, and 28 public community colleges attract large numbers of foreign students due to their diverse curricula, high academic standards, and pleasant learning environment. Our largest city, Detroit, is home to the Henry Ford Museum, historical Dearborn Village, and the Detroit Institute of the Arts. The Detroit Symphony and Detroit
Opera House enjoy an international reputation. Finally, Michigan has contributed its fair share to the music world, beginning with Motown Records in the 1960s and continuing up through Eminem and Madonna, both of whom are native Michiganders.
So come visit Michigan and enjoy our beautiful nature, friendly people, and many cultural offerings. We'd be happy to host you!

EPA Brownfield Cleanup at Historic Barns Park
See the transformative power of the US EPA Brownfields Cleanup Program at one of Michigan’s most unique parks.
Once a sprawling state hospital complex, the Grand Traverse Commons in Traverse City, Michigan, is the largest mixed-use brownfield project in the state. Historic Barns Park is part of that story.
The park had been a working farm that fed patients and staff of the former Traverse City State Hospital (1885-1989). In 2004, voters in Traverse City and Garfield Charter Township joined together to pass a ballot measure to purchase the abandoned hospital farm for use as a public park, under the management of a newly created joint Recreational Authority.
After more than 100 years of intensive use, the entire former hospital site, including the old farm, was a known “brownfield,” an area that would require some environmental cleanup in order to be fully reutilized and enjoyed by the public. In 2013, the Recreational Authority — on its second try — was awarded a US EPA Brownfield Cleanup Grant to finish the environmental cleanup at the park and clear the way for the site’s rebirth.
Under the guidance of The City of Traverse City and Charter Township of Garfield Recreational Authority and an ambitious public vision, Historic Barns Park is now home to a public event venue (The Cathedral Barn, and three nonprofit partners, including the burgeoning Botanic Garden at Historic Barns Park ( SEEDS (agricultural and green-collar workforce training, and the verdant plots of TC Community Garden ( Located just two miles from the heart of downtown Traverse City, the park is also a favorite respite for hikers, bikers and nature lovers of all kinds.
On your next visit to Traverse City, stop by Historic Barns Park and see for yourself the transformative power of brownfield cleanup in Michigan communities.

SUMMARY
=======
Michigan ( (listen)) is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. The state's name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning large water or large lake. Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area, and is the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River. Michigan has a population of about 10 million. Its capital is Lansing and its largest city is Detroit. Metro Detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.
Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted as shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area).

A l’aide de faits avérés de notre histoire moderne durant ces 70 dernières années, des documents factuels, des témoignages pertinents et authentiques rassemblés dans son film, le Réalisateur Michel Rousseau parvient, avec son collaborateur Marc Gray, à nous faire revivre, percevoir et comprendre ce que représentent les murs de cette prison de verre qu’est réellement notre réalité 3D. Quels programmes précis et ingénierie calculée s’appliquent et se font écho dans le temps? Vous le saurez en visionnant ce documentaire.
Un énorme merci à notre contributrice, Isabelle Camille, pour ce travail de traduction et sous-titrage en Anglais.
