"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.
