Canoe Atlas of the Little North This trip was part of an extraordinary 40-year project by Tom and Jon to personally map the canoe routes of the Little North - the area north of the 50th parallel in Ontario and Manitoba, and west to the Nelson River in northern Manitoba. The Little North is the early fur trade name for this vast area covering over 500,000 square miles. Many of these routes are rarely, if ever, used by recreationalists, yet remain as vital routes for the Anishnabeg — the Ojibway, Oji-Cree and Cree peoples of the Little North. The Atlas will be published in 2006 by Boston Mills Press. For a pre-publication offer contact Jon Berger at jbphd@bm.net. |
The Atlas will cover area within yellow line |

Getting There Jon (left), Brian and Jesse (behind Jon) on the Matt Air Otter heading north. A one-and-a-half-hour flight from Sioux Lookout took them to Pickle Lake for re-fueling. From there they flew another three hours to N. Washagami Lake. They were picked up by the Otter in the Sutton delta at the bottom of the river and returned by the same route. |
