Abstract:
"Stories of Glous'gap, the embodiment of the Great Spirit, are told by the many Algonquin-speaking tribes of the United States and Canada. Among them is the Micmac of Maine, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces. Since the seventeenth century, anthropologists have listened to Micmac storytellers and recorded their tales. Now, for the first time, we are given these tales firsthand."--Jacket.
