Description
Mi’kmaw Fiddler Plays to Sainte Anne is a powerful Two-Eyed Seeing journey of truth-telling, healing, and cultural resilience. Elder John R. Prosper of Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation and settler co-author Dorothy A. Lander offer a deeply personal and historic pilgrimage, guided by Sainte Anne, the patron saint of the Mi’kmaq. Told through Elder Prosper’s lived experience of the 1942 Centralization Policy, which uprooted his family and sent his siblings to the Shubenacadie Residential School, and Lander’s call for settlers to confront their own intergenerational complicity, Mi’kmaw Fiddler challenges all Treaty People to harness their gifts of faith, music, and memory to walk together towards more authentic healing and lasting reconciliation.
