Metepenagiag: New Brunswick's Oldest Village

Through archaeological finds and oral histories from the Red Bank First Nation, archaeologist Patricia Allen reconstructs daily life at Metepenagiag, a historic Mi'kmaq village in New Brunswick. The narrative follows the community's seasonal routines, traditions, and social organization before European contact, then shows how the arrival of outsiders reshaped their world. Richly illustrated by Mi'kmaq artist Roger Simon and Maliseet photographer Patrick Polchies, the book provides middle-grade readers with a vivid, accessible picture of one of Canada's oldest villages.
