Description: ""Glooscap The Great Chief And Other Stories: Legends Of The Micmacs"" is a collection of folklore and legends from the indigenous Micmac peoples of Eastern Canada. Written by Emelyn Newcomb Partridge and first published in 1913, the book features tales of Glooscap, a legendary figure who is said to have created the world and taught the Micmacs how to live in harmony with nature. Other stories in the book include tales of animals, spirits, and heroes, all of which provide insight into the Micmacs' culture, beliefs, and way of life. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American folklore and mythology, and it is a fascinating glimpse into the rich history and traditions of the Micmac people.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
