Valuable as a landmark of an ancient culture, The Mi'kmaq Anthology also delivers to a wide audience the wealth of creative talent within the Mi'kmaq community today. Although many voices here may be new to the reading public, the book radiates with deep spirituality, social awareness, intellectual energy and a passionate political concern for preserving our natural heritage and the Mi'kmaq way of life.
