Micmac Texts (Canadian Museum of Civilization Mercury Series)

Contains texts in side-by-side, line-for-line, literal translations of Micmac and English, to assist non-Micmac readers who wish to learn Micmac or to interpret written texts. Texts include oral histories about the coming of the Europeans, a ghost story, a story about Gluscap, a Micmac and Maliseet cultural hero, and a recorded conversation. Texts were collected in 1961 both in Nova Scotia proper and Cape Breton Island.
