The Native Place Names map shows place names for seven different languages, each of which is shown in a different color. You can select as many or as few languages to view at a time using the legend on the left side of the map. Each place name point shows the literal English translation (if available) and the name for the place at it is known today. We have also included sources for each of the points, and where they exist, sound clips. Like all aspects of the Indigenous Chicago project, this map is an ongoing initiative. We will continue to update the data as we complete or are directed to additional research. 

Sources used for this map are listed within each map point.
