Being a semi-nomadic tribe the Mi'kmaq people did not grow crops. Hunters, fishermen and gatherers the tribe ate moose, deer and small game such as rabbits, grouse during the fall and winter. Fish was also on the diet including eel, salmon and smelt. The tribe was also adapt at hunting on the ocean and seal and whale were part of the catch. Wild root vegetables, seasonal fruit and berries were gathered and some trading with more agricultural tribes took place.

Mi'kmaq ate food of the land - including animals (bear, moose,deer, caribou, elk) plants, fruit and herbs. They prepared Luskinigin out of a bread dough (also called Bannok). They ate fresh fruits and vegetables and fish including eel. They would have ceremonies which involved large feasts.
