WI-TA WAN-KAN-TU
(1) island (2) high up..
Present day High Island Lake near New Auburn, Minnesota

This island has a prominent rock at its base and is covered
with red cedar (juniper). The outlet stream carries the same
name:

WI-TA WAN-KAN-TU WA-KPA-DAN
(1) island (2) high up (3) creek. "Riviere de l'ile Haute."

The lake was so named because the slightly elevated island dominates the adjacent low lying mainland. Being a navigable stream, it is possible to portage from the lake to the Crow River - Joseph N. Nicollet
