Starting in the mid-1960s, Craig Macdonald began to learn from Indigenous trappers and travellers, with a special emphasis on the traditional lands and winter ways of the Teme-Augama Anishnabai. 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 built cartographic and research skills compiling a historical map of traditional winter and summer travel routes, original shorelines, and trails.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe map stands as an example of truth and reconciliation in practice.
