Sinopsis

Mìgmaq Heritage Notesáwas a regular column in theáTribune, a Campbellton, NB, newspaper from October 2000 to August 2001, by the late Emmanuel NÃágùgwes Metallic (1946-2008), a renowned Mìgmaq linguist and historian from Listuguj First Nation.áAcross the Restigouche River from Campbellton, Listuguj sits within the Mìgmaq District of Gespÿg (also known as GespÿgewÃági) that covers the area extending from the Miramichi to the Southern St. Lawrence to present day Quebec City.ááThis collection contains the nearly 40 columns Metallic wrote for theáTribune. They cover a wide range of topics relating to Mìgmaq culture, from stories and legends, teachings on Mìgmaq place names, language, and spirituality, profiles of prominent Mìgmaq people and events, and even a recipe forálusknigná(bannock). The insights and teachings on Mìgmaq spirituality are an especially important contribution of this collection since there are few publications on Mìgmaq spirituality by Mìgmaq authors. MetallicâÇÖs sense of humour, his love of the Mìgmaq language and Mìgmaq people, as well as incisive critiques (mostly of the Catholic church) are woven into his writing.áThis collection will be a wonderful resource for use in Mìgmaq Studies, Mìgmaq Language courses, Mìgmaq law courses, and more.
