The Mi'kmaq are an Indigenous people from the northeastern region of North America, primarily located in present-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and parts of Quebec and Maine. They have a rich cultural heritage, including a distinct language, traditions, and spiritual beliefs. Historically, the Mi'kmaq were known for their fishing, hunting, and gathering practices, as well as their intricate storytelling and craftsmanship. Today, they continue to engage in cultural revitalization and advocate for their rights and recognition within Canadian society.
