	Lake Itasca -- Headwaters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Lake Itasca, unlike many of the thousands of lakes in the region, does not derive its name from names of the Chippewa Peoples who have inhabited this land since long before European settlers arrived.
		Rather, Itasca is a fabricated name made up by borrowing and splicing together halves of two latin words, "veritas caput" which translates as "true head." Henry Schoolcraft made up the name (with a little missionary help) and it has stuck.
		Mr Schoolcraft was the first person of European descent to visit Lake Itasca or at least the first person of European descent who was expressly searching for the source of the Mississippi when he arrived there in July 1832.

	Wired News: Geek Trip Begins at Headwaters
		From the sound of the name Itasca, you might think the lake was named by the Chippewa tribe that has called northern Minnesota home for thousands of years.
		Four years after Schoolcraft made his journey to Itasca, Joseph Nicollet, a French mathematician, mapmaker and astronomer, explored Lake Itasca's tributaries and declared in his journal that the longest of the streams that feeds Itasca, now known as Nicollet Creek, was "truly the infant Mississippi according to geographic rule."
		While Nicollet's argument regarding the Mississippi's source had and has merit, the now-official headwaters of the Mississippi is in Lake Itasca State Park, close to where Ozawindib and Schoolcraft placed it, in what is now Minnesota's oldest state park.

		In the end, we'd learned nothing we didn't already know from the park videos, pamphlets and our previous visit to Grand Portage National Monument, but we did realize that if the whole writing-for-a-living gig doesn't work out, we could give those guides a run for their money.
