AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
The purpose of this monograph is to describe the contemporary culture of a Micmac Indian Reserve, giving sufficient historical background to show significant continuities and discontinuities from aboriginal times to the present (p. vii). The post-contact historical data in the document is divided into several periods, although the dates of these periods vary for different sub-groups. The 'Early Contact Period' ranges from the sixteenth century to the Battle of Restigouche in 1760. The 'Later Contact Period' begins in 1760, lasting until 1900 when, within a period of five years, fundamental political, economic, and educational changes took place at Restigouche which mark the transition into the 'Recent Period' of from 1900 to 1961 (p. 6). This latter period provides a wealth of ethnographic information on the contemporary Micmac.
