A beautiful poem for his unborn son by James A. Ashton. For further information about the title of this poem, James gave me the following information: mikmaq native & ‘In the Micmac Indian dialect ākăde signifies a place[…]. The Shubenacadie River is called by the natives Saagaabenācăde, a place where their favourite root the sagaaban grows. The term Shubenacadie was given to the river, where such root plants were formerly very abundant. Shubenacadie is believed to translate to im well in acadia pronounced in Chiac as chu bien en Acadie. Shubenacadie ([ʃuːbənækədiː]) is a community located in Hants County, in central Nova Scotia, Canada. As of 2006, the population was 2,074. Shubenacadie is also known as Canadas milk can capital. Father Louis-Pierre Thury sought to gather the Mikmaq of Peninsular Nova Scotia into a single settlement around Shubenacadie as early as 1699. (Wikipedia) Thank you, James
