It is an excellent resource regarding London specific.

Native Cultural Distinctions

[edit]

The Algonquin Nation people are traditionally not from southern Ontario, but rather from eastern Ontario, the Ottawa Valley and parts of western Quebec.Although they're culturally and linguistically related to the Ojibwa and Odawa nations they have a distinct cultural form and are regarded as a distinct group.The individual native people that were encountered by the first Europeans to arrive in the immediate area where London is located today, were ethnically almost certainly Odawa,Ojibwa and perhaps Pottawatomie. Confusion of terms in this regard often happens because the Algonquin people have given their name to an entire group of related Native North American languages, this group is referred to as the Algonquian language group, a complex of closely related languages that also, amongst others, includes Ojibwa and Odawa. The two words ("Algonquian" and "Algonquin") are so close in appearance at first glance that even 'the pro's' slip up from time to time on the issue. This parallels the Iroquois/Iroquoian distinction that I made in an earlier edit. It's a case of all Algonquin native speakers speak an Algonquian language, but not everyone who speaks an Algonquian language is an Algonquin.  :)

The following are good sources for sorting out these kinds of cultural distinctions in this part of the province:

'The Ojibwa of Southern Ontario' by Peter S. Schmalz, 1991 ISBN: 0-8020-2736-9

'The Archaeology of Southern Ontario to A.D. 1650' Chris J. Ellis & Neal Ferris, editors, 1990 ISBN: 0-919350-13-5

For basic detail on the Iroquois/ Iroquoian distinction see: 'The Children of Aataentsic: A History of the Huron People to 1660' by Bruce G. Trigger, 1976 ISBN: 0-7735-0626-8

Many useful leads for the historical study of early London and region are available through an excellent website that presents Greg Curnoe's 'Deed/Nations' online.

Would anyone be willing to supply a better photo than the one currently being used in the infobox? Composition-wise it’s 40% branches, 20% water, 20% sky and long in the distance a couple spartan buildings hiding behind more branches. Wouldn’t we rather see a nice hero-shot of the skyline, Sunny, with actual leaves on the trees, maybe one taken from Victoria hospital or Western? — Muckapedia (talk) 31e mars 2010 17h03 (−4h)
