The Mi'kmaq laws, rooted in the traditions and customs of the Mi'kmaq people of Eastern Canada, encompass a system of governance based on natural law, oral tradition, and community consensus. These laws prioritize the well-being of the community, respect for the land, and sustainable practices. They often address issues of resource management, conflict resolution, and social responsibilities, reflecting the Mi'kmaq's deep connection to their environment and cultural heritage. In contemporary contexts, Mi'kmaq laws also interact with Canadian legal frameworks, particularly regarding Indigenous rights and self-governance.
