Summary: The "Micmac Indian Craftsmen" of Elsipogtog rose to national prominence in the early 1960s. Inspired by traditional Wabanaki stories, they produced an eclectic range of handmade objects that were sophisticated, profound, and eloquent. For the first time, the story of this groundbreaking co-operative and their art is told in full. Accompanying a major exhibition at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery opening in 2022, this collection features essays on the history of this vibrant art workshop, archival photographs of the artisans, and stunning full-colour images of their art.
