ON the 13th of May^ 1673, I embark'd with M. Joliet^ who was chofen to be our Diredor in this Undertak- ing, and five other Frencb-mtn^ in two Canows made of Barks of Trees, with fome Indian Corn and boil'd [sc. smoked] Flefti for our Subfiftence. We had taken care to get from the Sav- ages all the Intelligence we could, concerning the Countries through which we defignM to travel, and had drawn a Map of the fame, according to their Relation, in which we had mark'd the Rivers, and the Name of th...e Nations we were to meet, and the Rhombs of the Wind we were to make ufe of in our Journey.
The firft Nation we met with, is call'd the Nation of the fFild'Oats^i I went into their River to vifit that People, to whom we have preach'd the Gofpel for feveral Years, and amongft whom there are many good Chriftians. The fFild- OatSj from which they have got their Name, is a fort of Corn which grows naturally in the fmall Rivers, the bottom whereof is Owzie,^ as alfo in marftiy Grounds. It is much like our ^The Menomineet, whose name meant "wild-rice people" — so called because that grain {Zixania aquatica) is abundant in their country, and an important part of their food.
