Ni'n Na L'nu by A. J. B. Johnston,Jesse Francis Pdf

Winner of APMA Best Atlantic-Published Book Award Winner of PEI Book Award for Non-fiction This lavishly-illustrated book tells a story through words and images that has never before been told, not in any single book. The focus is entirely on the Mi'kmaq of the Island, an island which for thousands of years has been known to the Mi'kmaq and their ancestors as Epekwitk. That name means cradle on the sea and no more poetic description of PEI has ever been penned. The story of the PEI Mi'kmaq is one of adaptation and perseverance across countless generations in the face of pervasive change. Today's environment is far from what it was millennia ago. So too, the economy, society, lifestyle, language and religion of the people has witnessed some dramatic shifts. Nonetheless, despite all the changes, today's Mi'kmaq feel deeply connected to the Island in its entirety and to their ancestors and the values they still share. This book tells those many stories, and communicates much more. While the book is a stand-alone publication, it is also a companion to a travelling exhibition of the same name.

The World Above the Sky by Kent Stetson Pdf

The World Above the Sky transports seventeen-year-old Eugainia St Clare Delacroix—the Living Holy Grail—from certain death at the hands of her enemies to the safety of the New World. The year is 1398. Fleet commander Prince Henry Sinclair, Eugainia’s protector and champion, clings to the dying Templar dream of establishing a New Arcadia with Eugainia enthroned at its beating heart. The Royal and Holy Blood flows in Eugainia’s veins: her lineage stretches back beyond the Christ and Mary Magdalene, past the Kings David and Solomon, past the man-god Pharaohs of Egypt to the dawn of time itself. Eugainia disembarks weakened and near death on the Atlantic coast of Canada. There stands the handsome, young and recently widowed Mimktawo’qu’sk, chief-in-waiting of a peaceful clan of east coast Mi’kmaqs. In Mimktawo’qu’sk’s veins runs the Ancient and Honourable blood of The People, blood as potent with magic as the living bones of the earth, blood rich in the mysteries of the star world—the world above the sky. In the time of the Two made One, Mimktawo’qu’sk and revitalized Eugainia break their chains, redefine divinity and, together, forge a new and shining world.

Niniskamijinaqik by Ruth Holmes Whitehead Pdf

The Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada were here for thousands of years before the arrival of European peoples. Niniskamijinaqik / Ancestral Images: The Mi'kmaq in Art and Photography presents their unique culture and way of life through the remarkable and sometime complex lives of individuals, as depicted in artwork or photography. The opening images in this collection were created by the Mi'kmaq themselves: portrayals of human beings carved into the rock formations of Nova Scotia. Then there are the earliest surviving European depictions of Mi'kmaq, decorations on the maps of Samuel de Champlain. Finally we see portraits of Mi'kmaw individuals, ancestors in whom we see their "humanity frozen in the stillness of a photograph," as the writers of the book's foreword describe. Niniskamijinaqik / Ancestral Images includes 94 compelling pieces of art and photography, chosen from more than a thousand extant portraits in different media, that show the Mi'kmaw people. Each image is an entry point to deeply personal history, a small moment or single person transformed into vivid immediacy for the reader.

No need of a chief for this band by Martha Elizabeth Walls Pdf

In 1899 the Canadian government passed legislation to replace the community appointment of Mi'kmaw leaders and Mi'kmaw political practices with the triennial system, a Euro-Canadian system of democratic band council elections. Officials in Ottawa assumed the federally mandated and supervised system would redefine Mi'kmaw politics. They were wrong. Many Mi'kmaw communities rejected or amended the legislation, while others accepted it only sporadically to meet specific community needs and goals. Compelling and timely, this book supports Aboriginal claims to self-governance and complicates understandings of state power by showing that the Mi'kmaw, rather than succumbing to imposed political models, retained political practices that distinguished them from their Euro-Canadian neighbours.
