Abstract
This monograph chronicles the endurance of the Mi'kmaq tribal nation -- its ordeals in the face of colonialism and its current struggle for self-determination and cultural revitalization. Inhabiting the northern Atlantic seaboard, Mi'kmaqs were among the first Indians in North America to encounter Europeans, and this book details the historical dynamics that have marked their culture over the last 500 years (p.viii). Major emphasis in this document is on the time period from 1650 to 1991, although Mi'kmaq prehistory and the period up to 1500 is covered to some extent.
