"Drawing on archaeological, ethnographic, and archival fieldwork conducted with the Pictou Landing First Nation--one of thirteen Mi'kmaw communities in Nova Scotia--Lelièvre argues that, for the British Crown and the Catholic Church, mobility has been required not only for the settlement of the colony but also for the management and conversion of the Mi'kmaq. For the Mi'kmaq, their continued mobility has served as a demonstration of sovereignty over their ancestral lands and waters despite the encroachment of European settlers."--From publisher.
