described by the publisher as follows......"ELITEKEY (pronounced el-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."
