When did the first micmac people come to prince edward island?

Answer 1

Abegweit, the aboriginal name for Prince Edward Island has been a home to the Mi'kmaq people for thousands of years. The name means "lying down flat," but is often translated as "cradled by the waves." Ancestors of the Mi'Kmaqs lived on the island 10 000 years ago. Thought to having migrated across the low plain now water covered by Northumberland Strait. Mi'kmaq fished along the coasts and rivers, hunted the interior and gathered berries and fish. Many Mi'kmaq continue to live on PEI preserving their crafts and culture.
