Historically there was certain roles undertaken by gender, but the Mi'kmaq lifestyle was notable by cooperation between the members of the community. The basic role of the man was to hunt and fish, and to be the protectors of the group/family. The women of the Mi'kmaq family gathered plant resources, preserved meats and maintained the camps, They were also the lifegivers to the sick and injured and caregivers to all. There was a great deal of sharing all tasks that often crossed gender lines. The women were quite capable of fishing or hunting to support the families when the men were away. Native Petroglyphs at Kejimkujik clearly show men and women fishing together.
