Hill Kay. Glooscap and His Magic. Legends of the Wabanaki Indians

New York: Dodd, Mead & Company, 1963. — 191 p.These stories, so far as we know, were first told in the wigwams of the Wabanaki Indians, long before the White Man came to North America. Later, white men learned them from the Indian, translating and preserving them in book form. In August, I960, I was invited to adapt the published Legends to a new art form, that of television, for a program called "Indian Legends," conceived and produced by Mr. Sandy Lumsden of CBHT, Halifax, Nova Scotia. Miss Kathleen Currie, Chief Librarian of the Children's Department of the Halifax Memorial Library, dressed in Indian costume, appeared before the cameras and related the stories, with graphics and background music and sound. The program was repeated across Canada and in parts of the United States during the next two years. Finally, in this present volume, the Legends return to something of their original form — a collection of short stories.Glooscap and His People.
