| Scope and content | This collection of 11 documents about the Mi'kmaq covers a period from about 1500 to the late twentieth century. The Mi'kmaq are an Algonquin-speaking people of Eastern Woodland culture, and the dominant First Nations group of the Canadian Maritime provinces. The main source of information on this group will be found in Wallis and Wallis, supplemented by Le Clercq, and Denys, for historical depth. In addition to the above, a brief culture summary of the Mi'kmaq people is presented in Bock. Additional ethnographic topics covered by this collection include: the hunting territory system in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland; Shamanism; culture loss and culture change for the period of 1912-1950; the contemporary Mi'kmaq of the Restigouche Reserve (up to 1961); and social revitalization and change in regard to the religious festival of St. Anne. |
