My Ancestors Live HereMy Ancestors Live Here

"For over twenty years, Mi'kmaw Elder Ellen Hunt has been identifying, researching and fighting to protect Mi'kmaw burial sites in Nova Scotia, which have long been forgotten, neglected, and destroyed. Moved by a powerful call from her ancestors, Hunt's work has taken her to burial sites ranging from Nova Scotia's South Shore to Cape Breton. This memoir chronicles her childhood in a Mi'kmaw community in Newfoundland and her activist work to protect Mi'kmaw burial grounds in Nova Scotia. Ellen also shares the challenges she has faced, from indifferent politicians to hostile locals."--From publisher.
