Answer 3

The Mi'kmaq were and are the dominant tribe in the Canadian Maritimes, in many ways other than language, they were similar to the Maliseet of New Brunswick and the Abenaki of northern New England. The main difference in lifestyle from that of the Abenaki was that the Abenaki were able to place greater emphasis on agricultural methods because of their more southerly location. Because the Mi'kmaq language contains some characteristics of the Cree peoples, many believe that they moved to the Canadian east coast from the north. When (and if) this migration happened is uncertain, but it is known that the Mi'kmaq have occupied their homelands for a considerable period well before 1500's. The Mi'kmaq did very little farming. They were, however, skilled hunter-gatherers with a heavy emphasis on fishing and sea mammals. For this reason, the Mi'kmaq were famous for their skill with a canoe. Constructed from birch bark, their distinctive humped-back design was not only light, but capable of crossing open water. Sails were added to some of these craft during the 1600s after the Europeans arrived.
