There is no evidence that Mi'kmaq were matricidal, however some people do believe we were. Women are very important and highly respected as life givers and their opinions were definitely heard and respected. Decisions were made by every member of the community in what we call a talking circle where everyone has a chance to voice opinions. Only one person will speak at one time. The person speaking will hold a talking stick or some other sacred object like an eagle feather or anything really, but usually a stick. No one interrupted the speaker. The final decision was made by the Chief after hearing what the people had to say. If the decisions had to do with all of the territory which there are 8 then after making a decision at the community level it was taken to a meeting with the district Chief. The district chief was responsible for his district. The same talking circle was used with the village chiefs and district chief. If it affected all districts it was then taken to the grand council with a grand chief and all district Chief's. The same process was done again with a talking circle where everyone was heard.

How do the mikmaq teach history of their people?
the mikmaq aka (L'nu) taught history throught stories and legends. Example: The mikmaq land was destroyed, the forests burnt the river dryed, no animals left but a few, so Bear came and taught the mikmaq to respect the land and use everybit of its catch, and not to waste.
