It\u2019s\u2013wait for it\u2013a map, conventional-seeming until viewed up close. The familiar boundaries of Canada span sea to sea, filled in-between with words. It\u2019s called Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada, and God bless its straightforwardness: Over years, Margaret Pearce collaborated with dozens of Indigenous groups to resurrect traditional names for places nationwide (my local favourites: \u2018At where it is heard approaching,\u2019 somewhere north of what we call Huntsville, or \u2018Place of calling silvery waters\u2019 near the Kawarthas). It remakes the familiar into something glorious and new, saying so clearly what so much else here is straining to articulate: Land is power, and its surface only tells one tale. Scratch it just a little and see what\u2019s underneath.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/theatredaujourdhui.qc.ca\/aalaapi\">To be featured in \u201cAalaapi,\u201d Th\u00e9\u00e2tre d\u2019aujourd\u2019hui, Montr\u00e9al, Qu\u00e9bec, 29 January-16 February 2019<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/bcstudies.com\/book_film_review\/coming-home-to-indigenous-place-names-in-canada\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Reviewed in BC Studies No. 202<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr) minmax(0, 2fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id12538_ff2c1b-e3 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-2-columns kt-row-layout-right-golden kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column12538_845fda-d8 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column12538_845fda-d8\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.kb-image12538_90f7d3-c3 .kb-image-has-overlay:after{opacity:0.3;}.kb-image12538_90f7d3-c3 img.kb-img, .kb-image12538_90f7d3-c3 .kb-img img{box-shadow:0px 0px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);filter:drop-shadow(0px 0px 14px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2));}<\/style>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-kadence-image kb-image12538_90f7d3-c3 size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner.jpg\" class=\"kb-advanced-image-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"966\" src=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-1024x966.jpg\" alt=\"Coming Home map upper right corner\" class=\"kb-img wp-image-8494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-1024x966.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-300x283.jpg 300w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-768x724.jpg 768w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-105x99.jpg 105w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-317x299.jpg 317w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-423x399.jpg 423w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-634x598.jpg 634w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-846x798.jpg 846w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner-951x897.jpg 951w, https:\/\/umaine.edu\/canam\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/149\/2018\/02\/Coming-Home_Pearce-corner.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 85vw, (max-width: 768px) 67vw, (max-width: 1024px) 62vw,1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A digital version of the map is avaiable for educational use!

The map honors Indigenous place names in Canada and the assertion of Indigenous authority through place names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioned by Dr. Stephen J. Hornsby, Director of the Canadian-American Center, <em>Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada <\/em>was researched and designed by Dr. Margaret Wickens Pearce. The map depicts Indigenous place names across Canada, shared by permission of First Nations, M\u00e9tis, and Inuit communities and people. The names express territorial rights and describe the shapes, sounds, and stories of sovereign lands. The names mark the locations of the gathering places, the communities, the places of danger and beauty, and the places where treaties were signed. The names are ancient and recent, both in and outside of time, and they express and assert the Indigenous presence across the Canadian landscape in Indigenous languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The map does not depict all of the Indigenous place names of Canada, nor are all Indigenous Nations and communities represented. Beyond the map\u2019s names are thousands upon thousands more, an ever growing and expanding atlas of intimate, geographical knowledge and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intention of the map is to create respect for Indigenous homelands and sovereignties, and a feeling for and understanding of the place names.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian-American Center does not profit from the production and sale of this map. &nbsp;Members of the public are invited to purchase a copy for the cost of printing and postage. Contributors of place names to the map are invited to <a href=\"mailto:um.canam@maine.edu\">email the Canadian-American Center<\/a> for a discounted rate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To purchase a copy, please <a href=\"https:\/\/secure.touchnet.com\/C22921_ustores\/web\/store_main.jsp?STOREID=21&amp;SINGLESTORE=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">visit our online store<\/a>!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To mark the 150th anniversary of the Confederation of Canada, the Canadian-American Center at the University of Maine is pleased to release a new map, Coming Home to Indigenous Place Names in Canada.
