This short animation tells the tale of the great spirit Glooscap and how he battled with the giant Winter in order to bring Summer to the North and the Mi’kmaq people. Silas T. Rand, a Canadian Baptist clergyman and ethnographer, and Charles Leland, an American humorist and folklorist, first recorded the legend of Glooscap at the end of the 19th century. Since then, the legend has been retold many times, but never more beautifully than in this colourful animated interpretation.

Great Resources. I am teaching High school and I am always looking for resources.
Thank you for your comment. We hope you find many other resources you can use, and please feel free to share any you find that we don’t have on our site yet.
I can’t seem to access all the resources that are listed on this site. I am wondering if it has to do with putting a website address in with my name, email and Website? I didn’t know which website to put in. I can only see few resources. Is there a email I can send to the people who look after this site? Thank you.

Hi Mary Jane — we were having some technical issues with operation the site, but I think they have now been resolved, and materials are once more being added. Sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
