  A-re-yu'-na 
  or 
  Reuna 
  was 
  applied 
  to 
  Tupper's 
  lake 
  by 
  Hoffman, 
  

   and 
  has 
  been 
  translated 
  green 
  rocks. 
  This 
  may 
  be 
  questioned. 
  If 
  

   color 
  is 
  suggested 
  by 
  the 
  word 
  it 
  is 
  blue 
  rather 
  than 
  green. 
  

  

  Ca-na-ra-ge, 
  erroneously 
  given 
  for 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence 
  river 
  in 
  

   Macauley's 
  history, 
  seems 
  a 
  typographical 
  error, 
  changing 
  it 
  from 
  

   Canawage. 
  

  

  Che-gwa'-ga, 
  in 
  the 
  hip, 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Black 
  lake. 
  

  

  Chip'-pe 
  : 
  wa 
  bay 
  and 
  creek. 
  This 
  familiar 
  name 
  is 
  variously 
  

   written, 
  and 
  in 
  this 
  form 
  the 
  first 
  syllable 
  has 
  been 
  dropped. 
  While 
  

   this 
  form 
  is 
  retained 
  where 
  it 
  has 
  long 
  been 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  place, 
  the 
  

   name 
  is 
  now 
  quite 
  commonly 
  written 
  Ojibwa 
  or 
  Odjibwa, 
  with 
  

   occasional 
  minor 
  changes. 
  Charles 
  Lanman 
  defined 
  it 
  the 
  ruling 
  

   people. 
  . 
  One 
  derivation 
  has 
  been 
  made 
  from 
  odji 
  and 
  bwa, 
  voice 
  

   and 
  gathering 
  up. 
  Another 
  has 
  been 
  suggested 
  by 
  the 
  editor 
  of 
  

   John 
  Tanner's 
  Narrative, 
  published 
  in 
  1830. 
  He 
  said: 
  

  

  Of 
  the 
  origin 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  Chip-pe-wi-yan, 
  by 
  which, 
  since 
  

   Hearne 
  and 
  M'KcnzJe 
  these 
  people, 
  have 
  been 
  called, 
  it 
  may 
  now 
  

   be 
  difficult 
  to 
  give 
  any 
  satisfactory 
  account; 
  a 
  very 
  intelligent 
  per- 
  

   son 
  among 
  the 
  Ojibbeways 
  asserts 
  that 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  

   that 
  language, 
  and 
  is 
  only 
  a 
  vicious 
  pronunciation 
  of 
  the 
  com- 
  

   pound 
  word 
  O-jec-gwi-yan, 
  which 
  means 
  the 
  skin 
  of 
  the 
  fisher 
  

   weasel. 
  But 
  the 
  Chi-pe-wi-yans, 
  in 
  their 
  own 
  country, 
  have 
  no 
  

   knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  animal, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  easy 
  to 
  imagine 
  how 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  its 
  skin 
  should 
  have 
  been 
  fixed 
  upon 
  by 
  them 
  as 
  a 
  dis- 
  

   tinctive 
  appellation. 
  They 
  are 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Canadians, 
  and 
  many 
  

   white 
  men 
  residing 
  in 
  the 
  Athawasea 
  country, 
  " 
  mountaineers," 
  

   which 
  appellation 
  they 
  derive 
  from 
  the 
  country 
  of 
  bleak 
  and 
  snowy 
  

   rocks, 
  which 
  they 
  inhabit. 
  Tanner 
  thinks 
  the 
  name 
  O-jee-gwi-yah- 
  

   nug 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  a 
  word 
  which 
  means 
  " 
  to 
  pierce 
  zvith 
  an 
  

   awl 
  a 
  fold 
  of 
  skin." 
  

  

  Ga-na-sa-da'-ga, 
  side 
  hill, 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  Lake 
  St 
  Francis, 
  and 
  was 
  

   also 
  an 
  Indian 
  village 
  near 
  Montreal. 
  In 
  sound 
  it 
  varies 
  but 
  little 
  

   from 
  several 
  words 
  of 
  different 
  meaning. 
  

  

  Ga-na-ta-ra-go'-in, 
  Indian 
  Point 
  in 
  Lisbon, 
  seems 
  the 
  name 
  used 
  

   at 
  Waddington, 
  defined 
  as 
  wet 
  village, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  corruption 
  of 
  

   Ganiataragowa, 
  big 
  lake. 
  

  

  Ga-na-wa'-ga 
  or 
  rapid 
  river, 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Morgan, 
  is 
  a 
  proper 
  

   form 
  of 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  St 
  Lawrence, 
  but 
  is 
  better 
  defined 
  at 
  the 
  

   rapids. 
  It 
  is 
  essentially 
  the 
  old 
  name 
  of 
  Canghnawaga, 
  or 
  Kana-
