Praise For Mi'kmaq Song
Very much like Pat Cher, my ancestors were in Port Royale in Acadia in the 1600's and intermarried all the way up to perhaps one hundred years ago.
I read "Mi'kmaq Song" and found it full of surprises, and well researched. I couldn't put the book down, I loved Maggie, and being Metis, I felt akin to the story and would have loved to have lived at that time.
Pat's book, gave me a chance to open my mind to dreams of the past. I know Pat, and I am waiting to read another one of her books, or see more paintings.

I must say I can see much research and ideas, time and thought went into this book .I can see it made in to a movie to be shown on APTN .
I wish you much success I can see interest especially to the three Aboriginal groups as well as mainstream.

Mi'kmaq Song is a captivating story of loss, love, and self-discovery.
Pat Cher masterfully uses elements of Mi'kmaq history to create this enchanting piece of fiction.
An enjoyably palatable means of uncovering the customs of people who represent a significant element of Canadian history.
Diane Walmsley
Pat Cher's book is a fountain of information on early Canadian history mixed in with a very nice story that keeps you turning page after page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. She must have done a lot of research for this book and it shows. A very interesting read. Awaiting the sequel!

Mi'kmaq Song, not only tought me alot about their customs and way of life, it also transported me into the book, to follow along with the characters, storyline and best of all, the time line.
This book has it all...looking foreward to the next book.
5.0 out of 5 stars A Vivid Journey to the Past, February 24, 2012
Patricia Cher has written a wonderful tale of the Mi'kmaq people in the area of Port Royal, Acadia (now Nova Scotia), Canada during the early 1600's. It is obvious that she spent long hours in research to find the threads of history on which to weave her story of Maggie. This contemporary woman returns to the coast to reach out to the memories of her beloved grandmother Gheezu who infused her young life with traditions and history of her native people. Maggie, struggling with problems within her life, follows a dream of Gheezu to her grandmother's old canoe and sets out at the edge of the bay into an adventure of the past. The author finds a clever way to carry the reader to the everyday 17th century existence and hardships of the Mi'kmaq and their enemies to the south, the Penobscot. She closes the tale with an unexpected twist. I recommend this book as an enjoyable read in general but also to those who like to delve into the early history of native people.
