Chicago's Native American name is derived from the word "shikaakwa," which comes from the Algonquin language. It translates to "wild onion" or "skunk," referring to the abundant wild onions that grew in the area. The name reflects the region's natural environment and the significance of local flora to the Indigenous peoples.
