Happy Canada Day to you Neighbor!!!

Here is something to share with you that is on my Page a Day Calendar!!

O Kanata,

Use of the word, "Canada" is believed to have come about from a misunderstanding.When explorer Jacques Cartier sailed up the St. Lawerence River in 1535, he asked the natives the name of the land. When they replied, "kanata" , an Iroquois word for village, Cartier thought that it referred to the whole territory!!!

Amazing!!!
