"The Micmac Indians of Eastern Canada " was first published in
1955. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make
long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published
unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press
editions.
The culture of an Indian tribe over a period of 300 years is
described in this comprehensive ethnographic study by a husband and
wife anthropologist team. The earliest accounts of the Micmac
Indians were written by seventeenth-century French explorers and
missionaries. These give historical perspective to the work done by
the Wallises, whose research is based on field trips that bridged a
40-years span. Dr. Wallis first observed the Micmac tribes in
1911-12. He and Mrs. Wallis revisited them in 1950 and 1953,
assessing the changes in material cultural and in orientation,
drives, and motivations. In addition, they have preserved a rich
collection of Micmac folktales and traditions, published as a
separate section of the book.
