Micmac Indians

The Mi'kmaq are located on the North Atlantic east coast. Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Quebec and Maine. They are still around today. Healing was done with plants and herbs long before the European's arrived. Cartier credits a Mi'kmaq brew made of alder bark with curing those of his crew with the symptoms of scurvy. Blood letting and sweat lodges were among some of the native cures for illness and injuries. Poltices made from moss and tree saps were common and effective. Massage with seal oils was also a common practice.

The mi'kmaq did have enemies, they were the mohawk indians and the british.

A Saqamaw is a term used in the Mi'kmaq culture to refer to a leader or chief, often responsible for guiding and representing their community. The Saqamaw plays a vital role in decision-making, conflict resolution, and the preservation of cultural traditions.

All of them. The Mi'kmaq lived from both the salty waters of the great ocean, the fresh waters of the lakes and streams and all the lands. Fishing and hunting was good. Mother earth provided all the needs of the tribe from food, shelter, medicine, clothing and transportation.

Southern Venezuela and Northern Brazil in South America. They are a tribe of the rain forest.

As was the case with the majority of North American Native peoples, the Mohawk were at first affected only gradually, and mildly, by European settlement of the 'New World'; however, the European influence soon became widespread, severe, and decisively negative. In general terms, the Mohawk interacted in alternately peaceful and violent ways with the French and the English before largely siding with the English during the American Revolutionary War. Suffering defeat in that conflict, they resettled in northern New York and nearby regions of Canada, where their descendants still maintain a presence today.

I was talking to a native about this song yesterday. There are 58 versions, all used for various purposes. She told me it's like our national anthem in a way, because there is so much respect paid to it. More tribes than the Micmacs perform the Honor Song. The syllables don't translate into words, if I understood her correctly. The chanting isn't always the same. There is a version for healing and one for communication with nature. It's all in honor of the Great Creator. I was listening to 3 versions on You Tube, and they all sounded different. The commonality is the opening and the beat, which continues throughout and resembles a heartbeat. I might not be completely accurate since it was just one conversation, but I hope this helps.

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

The Mi'kmaq are still a thriving tribe. Present day Mi'kmaq still occupy the same areas they did when the Europeans first landed on the Atlantic coast of Canada.

Yes. Tribal rivalry was often the catalyst for warfare. Territorial fights took place between Inuit from the North, Huron from the west and the Abenaki/Penobscot tribes to the south. It is said that it was the Mi'kmaq who brought about the disappearance of the Beothuk tribe but Mi'kmaq oral tradition includes examples of friendly relations with the Beothuks, including the belief that the Mi'kmaq provided a haven for refugee Beothuks. There was a "war" with the Abenaki the Tarrateen War. For 8 years the Tarrateen war raged until the Mi'kmaq succeeded in killing the sachem of the Penobscot, winning the war. In the following two years, Micmac warriors swept southwards through the Abenaki villages in Maine in a wave of destruction. They went as far as Massachusetts before returning home.
