Great premise for a paper. A useful subject for an article might be the origin of the name Canada, as the present argument for its indian origin is both widely accepted and not very convincing.

This 1893 linguistics journal includes an argument by A. Marshall Elliot, who makes a convincing case for a European (Spanish or Portuguese) origin for the word, and effectively criticizes the dubious argument for indian origin. https://www.jstor.org/stable/2918432?seq=10#metadata_info_tab_contents
