On the Trail of Elder Brother: Glous'gap Stories of the Micmac Indians

Devoted to the adventures of Glous'gap, embodiment of the Great Spirit, the sixteen stories in On the Trail of Elder Brother have been told by many Algonquin tribes -- among them the Micmac of Maine, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces -- and are retold here in traditional Micmac versions by two Micmac authors. With their pipe-smoking whales and irascible porcupines, the stories are wondrous and magical; they are also wise, as Glous'gap teaches his people what it means to be fully human in a fragile world.
