    "In an example of truth and reconciliation put into practice,
    Craig Macdonald spent decades creating a unique map of
    Temagami, developed through trust and experience, in
    partnership with the Teme-Augama Anishnabai.

    "James Raffan's biography of Craig Macdonald and how the
    Historical Map of Temagami came to be is a remarkable tale. In
    the mid-1960s, Macdonald began interviewing and travelling with
    Indigenous trappers and travellers. He became familiar with
    Anishinaabemowin and built a lasting bond with the traditional
    knowledge holders. Returning year after year to map the land,
    Macdonald painstakingly plotted traditional placenames,
    original shorelines, elevations, and traditional summer and
    winter travel routes - including the documentation of more than
    twelve hundred canoe portages and winter snowshoe trails. His
    map is unique in the Canadian cartographic canon, and its
    genesis is a story that has never been told, until now.

    Our family had a cottage for quite a few years on an island on Lake
    Temagami until the mid 60's a few miles from the Town of Temagami.
    I spent the entire summer holidays there every year.. (2 months)
