So what about Chinguacousy? Early in my teaching career in Ontario, I had a student list 'Chinguacousy' as their hometown on an introductory form. I hesitated, not wanting to mispronounce this beautiful word derived from Anishinaabe, meaning "Land of the Tall Pines." I asked them after class, and they kindly coached me through it, emphasizing the soft 'g' and the flow of the syllables. It was my first lesson in the importance of local toponymy.
