- To enable others to appreciate their vision for IYA 2009, Mi’kmaq Elders and Cape Breton University released in January 2009 a richly illustrated 25-minute video, Muin (the Great Bear) and the Seven Bird Hunters, narrated in English, French or Mi’kmaq. This sky story has been brought to life in a creative blending of art, modern technology and the oral teachings of Mi’kmaq Elders and may be viewed here. The story links the annual cycle of the seasons as observed by the Mi’kmaq with the movement of stars about the North Celestial pole. This is the first time this story has been transferred into the realm of the visual arts.
