In 1641 the Onguiaahra Indians were the predominant tribe along the Niagara River. The French modified this tribe name to the word "Neutral" because it was easier to translate. The name "Onguiaahra" appears on maps as early as 1641. A French map dated 1680 refers to a destroyed Neutral Indian village situated close to the Niagara River as "Niagagerega

Is this one sold on both sides of the border? Anyone seen it around?
The Architecture mug was sold on both sides of the border, so I assume the same will happen with the Icon mug as well. However, the mug shows the regular bottom stamp (English only), while all other Canadian Icon mugs I have show a special bottom stamp (English and French).
I'm not sure if it's already on sale, eBay lists 8x Architecture, 2x Skylines and 1x Icon (but in the USA, not China, so it might have been bought on location).
I doubt the mug released on its location to date now. I've contacted a collector from east coast said he only sight TO mugs and N.Fall trumbler..no icon mug yet..but it will eventually =)
Wait - it's not for sale? :(Does Starbucks tell us when new mugs are released? Or is there anywhere we can read about which are in circulation or still sold?
To my knowledge there is no place where you can really see which mugs are on sale. The Starbucks website in the respective countries give you clues, but they are not always accurate - the German website still lists the City Mug list instead of the Icon mug list (Kiel is missing and Braunschweig is listed, though the Braunschweig Icon does not seem to be released yet).
