Seasonal migration patterns developed from traditional knowledge gained over many lifetimes dictated the day to day diet. Families arrived in an area when food was at its most plentiful. A Mi'kmaq knew exactly when to arrive at the coast in time for hunting seals, when to get to inland rivers in time for the salmon runs, or to bird colonies in time for collecting eggs. Eel fishing was an important chore as eels were among the favourite foods. Berries in the early summer and fall, apples and wild plum. Trade with neighbours to the south provided corn and grains.
