The land of the Mi'kmaq, primarily located in what is now eastern Canada, featured diverse ecosystems including coastal areas, forests, rivers, and lakes. This region provided abundant resources for hunting, fishing, and gathering, supporting a rich cultural and spiritual life. The Mi'kmaq traditionally lived in harmony with nature, utilizing seasonal migrations to access different resources throughout the year. The landscape was integral to their identity, spirituality, and way of life.
the mikmaq aka (L'nu) taught history throught stories and legends. Example: The mikmaq land was destroyed, the forests burnt the river dryed, no animals left but a few, so Bear came and taught the mikmaq to respect the land and use everybit of its catch, and not to waste. This might have been the telling of the asteroid that hit north America 13,000 years ago.
they now call it mikmakik, but the word mikmaq is influenced by the french, so it could have been L'nukik since the mikmaq called themselves lnu
Nukumi

The resources of the mi'kmaq tribe were what the land, lakes and oceans provided. The Mi'kmaq were semi-nomadic and moved with the seasons. Food, shelter and tools were all made from readily available materials.
Some Mi'kmaq names include Kejimkujik, which refers to a national park in Nova Scotia, and Mikmaq, the name of the Indigenous people themselves. Other names include A’se’k, meaning "the land," and Paqtnkek, referring to a Mi'kmaq community in Nova Scotia. Additionally, names like Ktaqmkuk, meaning "the land of the coming sun," are significant in Mi'kmaq culture.

The mikmaq were once enemies with the Mohawks and waged war with them. They were also enemies with the British.
The Mi'kmaq people traditionally use land for various purposes, including hunting, fishing, and gathering natural resources. They practice sustainable land management, maintaining a deep spiritual and cultural connection to the land, which is integral to their identity and way of life. Additionally, the Mi'kmaq engage in traditional agricultural practices, and the land serves as a site for community gatherings and cultural ceremonies. Modern initiatives also focus on land rights and environmental stewardship to preserve their heritage for future generations.
