Elitekey (pronounced él-li-dey-geh) is the Micmac word for "I fashion things".
The book documents five centuries of Micmac material culture, ranging in time from the period before contact with Europeans to the present day. A history and technical explanation is given for crafts in the following areas: costume and decorative techniques; birchbark work; porcupine quillwork on birchbark; work in wood, bone, stone and natural fibres; and the art of basketry. -- from back cover.
Illustrated with 47 black-and-white photographs of fine art paintings, drawings, petroglyphs, excavated artifacts, Micmac peoples and decorated artifacts, motifs and techniques. 1 map.
