=Churchill River.= Rises in La Loche Lake, lat. 56° 10' N., long. 109°
40' W., and after a course of 1000 miles, empties into Hudson Bay. The
mouth of the river was discovered by Munk, a Danish navigator, in 1619,
but it was not until 1774 that its upper waters were discovered by
Joseph Frobisher (_q.v._), and explored by Thomas Frobisher and
Alexander Henry, _the Elder_ (_q.v._), in 1775. The Churchill was
formerly known under various names: Danish River, in honour of Munk;
English River, so called by Frobisher; and Missinipi, the native name.
