Finding Kluskap

“Jennifer Reid presents truly original material—previously unknown stories that she recorded with Mi’kmaw friends. She also ties existing sources together in new ways. Finding Kluskap succeeds in presenting both new material and new interpretation—while still synthesizing existing literature in meaningful ways.” —Jace Weaver, Franklin Professor of Native American Studies and Religion, University of Georgia

“Finding Kluskap weaves a distinctive way of understanding New World religious phenomena that takes seriously the mythological consequences of European presence in Native American territories. It is a scholarly engagement with the mythic dimensions of the New World and colonialism that can be seen as an Indigenous critique of a settler culture through the captivating story of Kluskap and Mi'kmaw cultural survival.” —Philip P. Arnold, Syracuse University
