\t\t\t<p>Nta\u2019tugwaqanminen provides evidence that the Mi\u2019gmaq of the Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi (Northern New Brunswick and the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula) have occupied their territory since time immemorial. They were the sole occupants of it prior to European settlement and occupied it on a continuous basis. This book was written through an alliance between the Mi\u2019gmaq of Northern Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi (Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula), their Elders and a group of eminent researchers in the field with the aim of reclaiming their history, both oral and written, in the context of what is known as knowledge re-appropriation. It also provides non-Aboriginal peoples with a view of how Mi\u2019gmaq history looks when it is written from an Indigenous perspective.<\/p>
\n\t\t\t<p>There are two voices in the book \u2014 that of the Mi\u2019gmaq of the Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi, including the Elders, as they act as narrators of the collective history, and that of the researchers, who studied all possible aspects of this history, including advanced investigation on place names as indicators of migration patterns.<\/p>
\n\t\t\t<p>Nta\u2019tugwaqanminen speaks of the Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi Mi\u2019gmaq vision, history, relation to the land, past and present occupation of the territory and their place names and what they reveal in terms of ancient territorial occupation. It speaks of the treaties they agreed to with the British Crown, the respect of these treaties on the part of the Mi\u2019gmaq people and the disrespect of them from the various levels of governments. This book speaks about the dispossession the Mi\u2019gmaq of Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi had to endure while the European settlers illegally occupied and developed the Gasp\u00e9 Peninsula to their own advantage and the rights and titles the Mi\u2019gmaq people still have on their lands.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
