Nonantum and Natick

Nonantum and Natick. A narrative of the missionary work of John Eliot among the Indians ''written for the Massachusetts Sabbath School Society and revised by the Committee of Publication.'' Appendix A, p. 322-325, contains a petition of the Micmac chiefs to the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia in 1850. A later edition, Boston, c1858, appeared under title: The white oak and its neighbours.

Toronto Public Library recognizes that the term "Indians," used in subject headings such as "Indians of North America", is offensive to many people. Although we currently maintain these headings to adhere to descriptive standards used by libraries worldwide, we and other Canadian libraries are working to replace them with ones that are acceptable to Indigenous Peoples in Canada.
