"Sensitive and enlightening, Cibou is set in 17th-century Mi’kma’ki,
territory of the Mi’kmaq of Maritime Canada. The story is that of a
young Mi’kmaw woman and her relationship with Jesuit missionary Anthony
Daniel – a historical figure who was stationed in Cape Breton – and his
brother, Captain Charles Daniel who had established a French fishing and
trading post there. (The priest Daniel was later posted to Huronia
where he later met a violent end and martyrdom as Saint Anthony Daniel.)
Susan
Biagi has woven a marvelously intuitive tale … at once beautiful and
harsh, observing the simple and dangerous lives of cultures interacting
on the threshold of new world history." [See links below.]
