"Due to the early disappearance of many aboriginal groups from their former habitats in northeastern North America to the cultural decline of those who remained, to the difficulty of reconstructing non-Westem cultures from historical sources, those students dealing with native life in the Northeast and Woodland areas of North America have long worked under a serious handicap. Although much important and valuable work was done, both among still existing groups and among museum collections, little attempt was made to reconstruct the ancient cultures from the then existing historical materials. The reconstructions that were made during the last part of the 19th century not only ignored the greater part of the available ethnographical information, but were ahistorical and pseudohistorical, proceeding through the use of improved and highly questionable theories of culture origin and spread. Although many valuable points and problems were brought to light, the contribution to the factual base remained slight. It is the aim of this, work, therefore, to present a reconstruction, as far as possible, of the culture of a native American group immediately after contact and shortly before it. The Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have been selected as the object of this descriptive study"--Introduction, p. 1. gccst Indians gccst Aboriginal culture gccst Canadian history Treaties and Historical Research Centre (Canada) History of Acadia and the Micmac.
