M?maq Heritage Notes was a regular column in the Tribune, a Campbellton, NB, newspaper from October 2000 to August 2001, by the late Emmanuel N瀏wes Metallic (1946-2008), a renowned M?maq linguist and historian from Listuguj First Nation. Across the Restigouche River from Campbellton, Listuguj sits within the M?maq District of Gesp鑒 (also known as Gesp鑒ew瀏i) that covers the area extending from the Miramichi to the Southern St. Lawrence to present day Quebec City.
This collection contains the nearly 40 columns Metallic wrote for the Tribune. They cover a wide range of topics relating to M?maq culture, from stories and legends, teachings on M?maq place names, language, and spirituality, profiles of prominent M?maq people and events, and even a recipe for lusknign (bannock). The insights and teachings on M?maq spirituality are an especially important contribution of this collection since there are few publications on M?maq spirituality by M?maq authors. Metallic's sense of humour, his love of the M?maq language and M?maq people, as well as incisive critiques (mostly of the Catholic church) are woven into his writing. This collection will be a wonderful resource for use in M?maq Studies, M?maq Language courses, M?maq law courses, and more.
