Today, on National Indigenous Peoples Day, William Amos, Member of Parliament for Pontiac, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Natural Resources, released an interactive map that recognizes official place names in Canada that originate from Indigenous languages and dialects. The map is a joint project between Natural Resources Canada and the federal, provincial and territorial naming authorities of the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Entitled Stories from the Land: Indigenous Place Names in Canada, the interactive map highlights the diversity, history and geographical breadth of Indigenous place names across Canada through a selection of over 780 geographical places named in over 65 Indigenous languages or dialects. These names are a small sample of the thousands of official place names in Canada with Indigenous origins. The map contains detailed information on place name origins, including the translated meaning of the name and links to historical reference documents, allowing visitors to explore the names in depth.
