The 8 Pointed-Star

The eight-pointed star is a symbol which has been used by the Mi'kmaq for centuries. It is a symbol for the sun, which was a powerful figure in traditional spiritual life. The historic Mi'kmaq symbol originally had seven points to represent the traditional seven districts of the Mi'kmaq Nation. An eighth point representing the British Crown was added when the Mi’kmaq began signing treaties with the British Crown.

It appears as a common design motif on 19th-century quillwork, and today continues to be popular in Mi’kmaq designs and artwork.
 
This particular pendant was designed by Lloyd Johnson of Millbrook First Nation and hand crafted by goldsmith Tina Stevens of Inglis Jewellers. They are made of solid sterling silver , gold plating and hand painted enamel.

We Were Not The Savages
Author: Daniel N. Paul “We Were Not the Savages … is unique, in chronological scope and in the story it tells, covering the last three centuries of Mi’kmaq history in detail. Prior to the appearance of this book it was common for historians to downplay or even deny the violence inflicted on the Mi’kmaq people by European and Euro-American colonizers. This work, more than any other piece of scholarly production, has headed off that consensus at a pass. Scalp-bounty policies are now recognized as a historical problem worthy of investigation.”

Micmac Medicines Remedies and Recollections
Author: Laurie Lacey “In this delightful book, Laurie Lacey’s reflection on the magical world of plant life and the gathering of remedies chronicles more than 70 plants used by the Micmac as medicines. Since the Micmac healing process begins with the gathering and preperation of medicines, Lacey takes us into swamps and bogs, the barrens and woods to explore the habitats of plants with healing properties. He then illustrates each medicinal plant and describes its traditional uses. Whether one is hiking through a field listening for the sound of the “scared plant,” the yellow rattle, exploring bogs in the hope of finding the elusive blue flag, or simply interested in the Micmac approach to health and healing. Micmac Medicines will prove a helpful and enjoyable companion.”
