The late "John(Bear)Macneil", in his book "Basket Stories",confirms many connections between the Mi'kmaq (first nations people) of Nova Scotia and the Merovingians and Cathars of the Languedoc region in petroglyphs or stone drawings by the Mi'kmaq people. John,had found and drawn in his book the symbol for the "Ark of the Covenant "used as a religious object by the Mi'kmaq along with a Merovingian (supposed descendents of a sacred marriage between Mary Magdalene and Jesus) wearing the distintive cross above his heart.He has shown another connection with the chaperon headgear worn by Mi'kmaq women at specific events. I myself have seen a poster on exibit at the ranger station on the summit of Cadillac Mountian in Maine of a Mi'kmaw woman wearing one of these headpieces.Of course the word "Chaperon" would mean one who protects. We know the Cathars wore a chaperon that was nerarly identical in design to the Mi'kmaq version and we also know that the chaperon in grail lore was used to designate one who protects the grail. There is much more information in John's book including a location in Nova Scotia where he believes the grail may actully be hiding,called "Fairy Hole Cave" on Cape Breton Island. This cave is a very important site to the Mi'kmaq people,who consider it the home of Glooscap. This Glooscap or "Kluskap" is also considered to be the Henry Sinclair of legend who supposedly traveled to Nova Scotia from Scotland in 1398 with the grail.
