Niniskamijinaqik : Ancestral images : the Mi'kmaq in art and photography / Ruth Holmes Whitehead. by Whitehead, Ruth Holmes. Nimbus, c2015. Call #: 971.500497 W592n Subjects Mi'kmaq art.   First Nations -- Maritime Provinces -- History.   Mi'kmaq First Nation -- History.   Mi'Kmaq First Nation -- Portraits. Series Images of our past. ISBN:  9781771082631 (hc.) Description:  128 p. : ill. ; 20 x 25 cm. Summary:  "The Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada -- their unique culture and way of life presented through the remarkable and sometime complex lives of individuals, as depicted in artwork or photography. The opening images in this collection were created by the Mi’kmaq themselves: portrayals of human beings carved into the rock formations of Nova Scotia. Then there are the earliest surviving European depictions of Mi'kmaq, decorations on the maps of Samuel de Champlain. Finally we see portraits of Mi'kmaw individuals, ancestors in whom we see their "humanity frozen in the stillness of a photograph," as the writers of the book's foreword describe. Includes 94 compelling pieces of art and photography, chosen from more than a thousand extant portraits in different media, that show the Mi'kmaw people. Each image is an entry point to deeply personal history, a small moment or single person transformed into vivid immediacy for the reader. Ruth Whitehead is an ethnologist who worked for many years at the Nova Scotia Museum. She is the author of several books about the Mi'kmaq"--Provided by publisher.
