Ethnographies of Selected Reserves [Cape Breton University, CBU]

The following ethnographies were researched and compiled by Mi'kmaw students hired through Aboriginal L.I.N.K.S. Each is a compendium of information about Nova Scotia reserves with regard to physical description including size, location, and proximity to other towns or villages; what businesses and other concerns comprise the reserves, including private businesses and band operated businesses; services and facilities available in the communities; and the names of the people who make up the band councils, administration, and educational institutions. As well, the researchers tried to interview individuals in the communities to obtain some historical and background information on the reserves, and they are compiling a bibliography of written materials on the culture, tradition, and language of the reserves, which will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
