| Micmac Legends |
| Ruth Holmes Whitehead |
In Stories From the Six Worlds Micmac legends are
returned to the People, and offered to all people whose
search for meaning draws them again to the ancient
cultures.
It is the surviving stories, passed down by word of
mouth, that best represent Micmac culture. For in
their tales the People themselves speak about their
world and give glimpses of how their universe arose
and how they were expected to act. Their tales
resound with the universal themes included in any
world view - Duty, Fear, Change, Revenge, Rebirth,
and Power.
This collection of twenty-nine stories shows the
mythical Micmac world - the world of the Old Ones.
Drawing on various sources, Ruth Whitehead retells
stories in a voice close to that of the original
storytellers. The result is astonishing. A new
perception emerges, and the reality behind the myth
reaches out to encompass all those who will listen.
The Voice of the Storyteller has breath once again.
