Story telling was a big part of Mi'kmaq entertainment. Hunting and fishing was not only a serious occupation but a great time for families as it was a time for learning skills passed from father to son and mother to daughter. Carved toys entertained smaller children and stick & ball games were played. Skilled at craft work, carving, beading and weaving baskets, the long winters were often used to make trade items.

Like for many native tribes, spring is an abundant season for resources. Fish spawn at this time of year and made it easy to net and trap all sorts of aquatic creatures. Pike, eel, salmon and sturgeon were just a few of the species available from March through May.

Maple sap runs at this time of year and the boiled down sap known worldwide as maple syrup and maple sugar was highly prized and readily available for about three weeks during spring. Small spring fern plant shoots known as fiddleheads were an excellent spring find.
