Yellowhead
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yellowhead (or in French, Tête Jaune) was the nickname of the furtrader and explorer Pierre Bostonais. The Yellowhead Pass in the Rocky Mountains on the border between British Columbia and Alberta, and Tête Jaune Cache, British Columbia are named after him. Indirectly, because of the pass, several other geographical features of Western Canada are named after him:
- Yellowhead County, Alberta
- Yellowhead Highway
- Yellowhead (electoral district)
- West Yellowhead (electoral district)
Yellowhead can also refer to:
- Yellowhead (bird)
- Yellowhead disease
- Yellowhead jawfish
- Yellow Head, Maine, a small coastal village in the Lincoln County.
- Plants in the daisy family belonging to the genera Inula or Trichoptilium.
