Sioux Lookout canoeist documents routes in Canada’s Little North in new atlas
The traditional water routes used by the people from across Nishnawbe Aski Nation for thousands of years are now popular canoe routes for people from around the world. A new canoe route atlas that is a combination of close to 100 years of travel by the two authors is being published in this spring describing this special part of Canada.
Over the past 40 years, Tom Terry travelled thousands of miles by canoe with family, friends, community members and guests through this special part of Canada. Tom and Carol operate a local canoe outfitting operation along with all their other activities.
This region was originally known as the "Little North" by the fur traders who were travelling these routes from the Hudson Bay and the Great Lakes in order to reach central Canada. Thus, the title of the new atlas is simply, "Canoe Atlas of the Little North" by Jonathan Berger and Thomas Terry.
The new atlas is reviewed on the Ottertooth.com web site at http://ottertooth.com/Otter-misc/littlenorth.htm with a link to the publisher’s promotion of the atlas available at http://ottertooth.com/Otter-misc/images/atlasinfo.pdf (1.4M PDF).
