“There is much in the book that is of great interest to folklorists including the connection among Mi’kmaw belief, stories of treaties, stories of broken promises and Mi’kmaw experience of the sacred. It is fascinating also that the treaties, perceived as sacred agreements to Mi’kmaw people, remain at the center of religious ritual even when ignored by the Canadian government. In the end, the book is well worth reading, especially as a starting point for additional folklore and historical research.”
