Ta'n teli-ktlamsi Tasit (Ways of Believing): Mi'kmaw Religion in Eskasoni, Nova Scotia (Canadian Ethnography )

Volume 3 of the Canadian Ethnography series emphasizes the role of religion as it pertains to constructing Mikmaw identity, primarily because religious and spiritual views help shape subjectivity and the social environment. Within Mikmaw society and culture, specific religious orientations and respective ideologies and expressions both shape and are shaped by personal and social identities. The reciprocal nature of this relationship between religious affiliation(s) and individual and collective identities is evident in the varied perceptions of culture, spirituality and religion found within the Mikmaw society.
