| Mi'kmaq Hieroglyphic Prayers |
| Readings in North America's First Indigenous Script |
| Edited and Translated by David L. Schmidt and Murdena Marshall |
Mi'kmaq Hieroglyphic Prayers is a collection of sacred
readings (prayers, narratives, and liturgies) represented
by hieroglyphs developed from pictographic symbols
used by the Mi'kmaq Indians of Atlantic Canada before
European contact, and later expanded by French
missionaries.
According to Mi'kmaq oral tradition, the hieroglyphs
were developed for inscribing maps and tribal records
prior to the coming of Europeans to Mi'kma'ki, that
native homeland.
This volume contains some of the most important texts in
native religious life, such as "The Passion of our Lord"
and "The Sacraments," as well as common prayers for
everyday recitation. Transliterations in Mi'kmaq and
translations in English accompany the hieroglyphic text.
