Excerpt from Algonquian Indian Names of Places in Northern Canada Between the years 1883 and 1898 my work as a Geologist on the Staff of the Geological Survey of Canada made it necessary for me to travel through some of the more remote parts of northern and western Canada, where but few white men, or in some places no white men, had preceded me, and where the geographical features were either very imperfectly known or quite unknown. It was therefore at all times advantageous, and at almost all times absolutely necessary, for me to survey the routes over which I travelled, and to make intelligible maps of these routes, and of as much of the adjoining country as it was possible for me to observe, in order that I might correctly designate on these maps the positions of the various rocks and natural phenomena encountered. In this way these observations were correlated from day to day as the work of exploration proceeded, and a comprehensive view of the mineral resources and geological structure of the region explored was obtained. Such maps also made it possible for others, who might subsequently wish to follow my routes, or to travel on routes in the vicinity of mine, to identify my positions, and to use my observations in connection with their own in the further study of the regions. Finally, they served to inform geologists and mining engineers throughout the world of the exact positions and relationships of the various ores, rocks and geological formations discovered and identified. In order that the natural features of the countries explored might be intelligently referred to in my Reports, and in those of others who might wish to allude to them later, it was necessary that names should be applied to them, whether such features were mountains, lakes, rivers, or islands. If white men happened to be living in the districts Visited, and if these men had local names for such natural features, these local names were retained whenever they did not conflict with well-known names elsewhere. But much of the country explored was without white imbabi tants and the only names immediately available were those used by Indians who lived in the country. Indians were employed by me as214 transactions OF the royal canadian institute [vol. X. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Much has been written about the history and the people of northern Manitoba, but until now this body of work has not been readily accessible to the researcher or teacher. This bibliography identifies published sources, such as books and magazine and journal articles, as well as unpublished sources that are available to the public, including academic theses and government pamphlets, reports, and studies. It includes primarily materials dealing with the area north of 53rd parallel of latitude, but it also includes material on the area east of Lake Winnipeg as far south as the 51st parallel, a region that is similar to the North. References are listed under seven topics: bibliographies and research aids; the fur trade; Aboriginal and Métis populations; exploration and travel accounts; church and mission histories; northern geography and resources; and community histories and twentieth century resource exploitation.

No less than 27 out of the 50 states' names in the USA are based in American Indian languages. Additionally, six out of 13 of Canada's provinces and territories have names with indigenous origins, and, of course, Canada itself is derived from an indigenous source. Shakespeare quipped, "What's in a name?" A lot, it turns out, because states like California and Florida reflect their Spanish history; here, in the Great Lakes, that history is indigenous. If you have an understanding of the name of a place, its history may reveal itself. And that history will, most likely, enrich your own life and your place in it. Join us on this journey through Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota as we alphabetically traverse indigenous place names in each locale. Alternately, you can peruse an alphabetical concordance of every place name. In the appendices, you'll discover details of US and Canadian treaties with indigenous people, and many that are still under dispute today "Emeritus Professor Phil Bellfy has used his life-long Indigenous knowledge to produce this imaginative, original work that will be indispensable to any researcher working on Indigenous studies in the Great Lakes watershed. Indians and Other Misnomers of the Upper Great Lakes will be in the forefront of changing the way in which Indigenous knowledge shapes the hitherto colonial narrative of the Great Lakes." David T. McNab, professor emeritus, York University, Toronto, Ontario. "Indians and Other Misnomers of the Upper Great Lakes is a fascinating exploration of the Indigenous origins of many place names bordering the Great Lakes. This book offers readers the opportunity to contemplate their place within the landscape of the Indigenous homelands now claimed by the Canadian and American settler states. It is a must-own companion book for researchers, residents and anyone interested in the places, history and linguistic heritages of the Great Lakes." --Karl Hele, Anishinaabeg and the Davidson Chair in Canadian Studies, Mount Allison University "Words carry meaning and history. In this Indians and Other Misnomers of the Upper Great Lakes, Dr. Phil Bellfy takes us on an etymological journey around the Great Lakes region as he explains the possible origins and meanings of Native American place names. This book helps paint a relational picture of the cultural world of the Anishinaabe Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibway, Odawa, and Potawatomi and how that view has been impacted by settler colonialism." -- Dr. Martin Reinhardt, Anishinaabe Ojibway citizen of the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians; professor of Native American Studies, Northern Michigan University, president of the Michigan Indian Education Council. From Ziibi Press www.ZiibiPress.com
