Abstract. This article documents the specific activities by Christian Kauder in the context of Catholic mission work and their direct influence on the daily life, culture, and religion of the Mi’kmaq....
A former Luxembourg civil servant has just sent me postage with a new stamp that commemorates the first printed book of Mi’kmaq hieroglyphic writing (printed by a Luxembourger catholic missionary 160 years ago). No doubt the first stamp ever to include this script!
