Ensemble, ces sources mettent en lumière la reproduction chez les Mi’kmaq dans les environs de l’établissement européen ainsi que les réseaux familiaux et sociaux qui reliaient ces deux sociétés. Elles révèlent que les relations entre les Acadiens et les Mi’kmaq étaient plus étroites chez certains que chez d’autres.
