Mount McKay is a mafic sill located south of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, on the Indian Reserve of the Fort William First Nation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Thunder Bay Green Spaces )〕 It is the highest, most northern and best known of the Nor'Wester Mountains. It formed during a period of magmatic activity associated with the large Midcontinent Rift System about 1,100 million years ago.〔(North Shore Lake Superior, Ontario )〕 ==History==
McKay was originally known as the "Thunder Mountain" (''Animikii-wajiw'' in the Ojibwe language and locally written as "Anemki-waucheu"). The mountain is used by the Ojibwe for sacred ceremonies. Only with the construction of the road were non-First Nations allowed on this land.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= TransCanadaHighway.com Thunder Bay, Ontario's Top Attractions )〕 The current English name "Mount McKay", evolved from "Mackay's Mountain" and later, "McKay's Mountain", after William Mackay, a Scottish free trader who resided in the Fort William area sometime between 1821 and 1857.
