(If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you) Michigan is the eighth most populous state in the United States. It has the longest freshwater shoreline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair.[5] In 2005, Michigan ranked third for the number of registered recreational boats, behind California and Florida.[6] Michigan has 64,980 inland lakes.[7] A person in the state is never more than six miles (10&_160;km) from a natural water source,[citation needed] or more than 87.2&_160;miles (140.3&_160;km) from the Great Lakes coastline.[citation needed] Michigan is the only state to consist entirely of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often dubbed "the mitten" by residents, owing to its shape. When asked where in Michigan one comes from, a resident of the Lower Peninsula may often point to the corresponding part of his or her hand. The Upper Peninsula (often referred to as The U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8&_160;km)-wide channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is economically important for tourism and natural resources. Michigan was home to various Native Americans centuries before colonization by Europeans. When the first European explorers arrived, the most populous and influential tribes were Algonquian peoples—specifically, the Ottawa, the Anishnabe (called "Chippewa" in French, after their language, "Ojibwe"), and the Potawatomi. The Anishnabe, whose numbers are estimated to have been between 25,000 and 35,000, were the most populous.

In those cases, the houses were repossessed by the mortgage loan companies and then placed on the sale market for a second time, so that another family who has the means to do so, can purchase them.
