CRAIG MACDONALD PRE-CONTACT STORIES OF TEMAGAMI

Craig MacDonald spent nearly 30 years researching and documenting the nastawgan, Temagami's traditional network of summer and winter travel routes. The history, language and culture of the Anishinawbeg were used to create an important window on the area's history.

Craig's seminal publication, the Historic Map of Temagami, is crucial to the work Friends of Temagami does protecting and promoting the region's historic canoe routes. It is a unique and invaluable contribution to our understanding of the aboriginal world that existed in Temagami in 1900. His work is a defining guide to the Temagami Wilderness.

Craig will present his work and passion for Temagami on Saturday evening, following the AGM dinner, and you are cordially invited. Smoothwater has three invitational offers:
1) attend the AGM on Saturday,
2) come for the AGM dinner and presentation,
3) make it a weekend and book one of our cozy rooms.

Take it from me, if you like history, you cannot get enough of Craig's stories. I can listen to him for hours, and have. Hope to see you at Smoothwater of Temagami next week.

P.S. Craig's maps will be for sale.
