Book Description
"Indian Names in Michigan traces the origin of hundreds of place-names given to counties, towns, lakes, rivers, and topographical features of the Great Lakes State. These melodic names that enrich our appreciation for the romantic past of our state record the culture and history of both the American Indian and the white settler. Most of the Indian names borne by Michigan's cities, counties, lakes, and rivers are those of Indian tribes and individuals. Settlers named places not only fro the resident tribes, but also for tribes in the West that they had never seen. Indian Names in Michigan is written for all local history enthusiasts and anyone interested in Indian history and culture"--Back cover.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Indian Place-Names on Long Island and Islands Adjacent: With Their Probable Significations The mass - contact of the English and the Indians in N orth America took place first in an Algonkian area, of Which Long Island formed a part. Lin guistically, the Algonkian stock, although by no means intellectually superior to their Iroquoian neighbors, seem to have influenced more the Euro pean settlers and their descendants. In an article on Algonkian Words in American English, pub lished in the Journal of American folk-lore for 1901, and in a monograph on The Contribution of the American Indian to Human Civilization (p706. Amer. Antiq. Soc., the writer has discussed this topic, pointing out that the contributions of the Algonkians to the dictionary of American English (past and present) amount to at least 200 words, including such terms of world-wide fame as Tam many, mugwump, totem, etc., While the element taken up from the Iroquoian dialects is very much less numerous, being chiefly limited to words Which were originally place-names, but Which, like Chau taugua, etc., have for some reason or other become common-places of our speech.

Book Description
Excerpt from Aboriginal Place Names of New York As we are not dealing with languages so much as a class of names, this may suffice for Algonquin names, though very briefly stated. In considering Iroquois words of the same class, a few words may be quoted from Sir William Johnson, written in 1771.
