About the Author Craig Macdonald is an ethno-geographer, Cree-Ojibwa place-name linguist and trails expert who spent 27 years doing research in the area. He interviewed over 200 Anishinabai elders and traveled over 1,000 miles in the backcountry exploring the nastawgan and methods of travel on them. Craig estimates that the nastawgan have been in use for over a thousand years. From his painstaking research and devotion to native-travel methods and routes, the word nastawgan has moved from the aboriginal language into the language of the modern canoeist.
