| Tales of the Mi'kmaq With an Introduction to the Customs and Beliefs of the Mi'kmaq Indians |
| Marion Robertson |
Legends have always been an important part of Mi'kmaq
culture; the tradition is brimming with tales that have been told
for generations. In Red Earth, twenty-six of those legends -
about Niscaminou, the Stars and the Moon, Glooscap, and
more - are recounted in the vivid language of storytellers. We
learn about the sisters who married Stars, about the very first
cedar tree, and how the loon became a sea bird. And
interspersed throughout the book are George Creed's tracings
of Mi'kmaq petroglyphs, which beautifully illustrate the
legends.
With an introduction to the customs and beliefs of the
Mi'kmaq, Red Earth is an indispensable volume of Mi'kmaq
lore.
