Yes the Mi'kmaq moved seasonally to follow their food sources. In the winter they lived inland on rivers where they could get fresh water and hunt mammals (Deer, Moose, Caribou, Bear, rabbits, etc.), and catch fish through the ice (eels, salmon, trout, and tomcod). They banded together in large groups called bands.

In the spring and summer months they moved to the coast and set up family camp areas where they relied on the bounty of the sea, providing oysters, clams, lobster, flatfish, salmon, herring, eels and other healthy fish.

They also gathered berries and nuts, planted and harvested ground nut (Apios americanus), and collected other wild plants such as bullrush and fern roots.
