As a Native, from an Eastern Woodlands Tribe, and a student of anthropology, I found this book to be very informative. The information presented put into perspective many of the stories I heard about relations between Mi'Kmaq tribes of North Eastern America and other tribes from the same location. I would recomend this book to anyone pursuing studies in Native American History, as well as to anyone who is looking for answers to the origin of thier heritage.

Working at the Mi'kmaq Resource Centre I find this to be the single volume I keep returning to again and again and it is the one I recommend most often to researchers and students. It covers a wide range of topics from pre- to post contact times and I use it constantly as a reference and guide. It is a superior book and I can't praise it highly enough. It is now 8 years old and I eagerly await an updated version from Harald Prins.

This book has opened my eyes to a whole new world of people and a way of living. Thank you.

This book is just plain boredom. If you want to bore yourself, then you don't want to miss any opportunity to purchase this action-less boredom-fest. The author would struggle to make things more dry for the reader. It's so dry, you start reading and you think you've been transported to the Sahara desert. Coincidentally there is a lot of sand there, and you'll surely be paid a visit by the Sandman. Sweet dreams.
