Muin Aqq L'Uiknek Te'Sijik Ntuksuinu'K
Muin Aqq L'Uiknek Te'Sijik Ntuksuinu'K: Mi'Kmawey Tepkikewey Musikiskey A'Tukwaqn | Lillian Marshall, Cheryl Bartlett, Prune Harris, Murdena Marshall
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
The story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters is a very old Mi'kmaw legend. It happens in the North Sky as the stars that show the story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters move around Tatapn, the North Star. In pictures in this book you can see how these stars, shown as they appear two hours before dawn, move through the night sky. They are in a different position each of the seasons because they are the time-keepers, the calendar. All through the year, as the stars and plants travel through the sky, the Mi'kmaq watch the story of Muin and the Seven Bird Hunters as it unfolds before their eyes.

In this Mi‘kmaw legend of the night sky, the star constellations are pictured next to the animals that are in the story, changing positions as the seasons—and the story—progress. An #Indigenous #picturebook in dual Mi‘kmaw and English. My favourite bird, the chickadee, is one of the heroes, cooking food for everyone else. Yay!
