Micmac Indians

Oral history helped pass down stories and legends

1534 Jacques Cartier dropped anchor in Chaleur Bay, New Brunswick and was greeted by many Mi'kmaq in canoes.

Of course they did. All first nations people had their own unique spiritual traditions and beliefs. Prior to the first contact with Europeans the tribe recognized the spirit in all things. Living close to the earth and in harmony with all around was not a choice, it was an imperative to survival. Animism is the best way to express the beliefs but it was more than that. Spirit of the earth, including the forest, the waters and the sky were all respected celebrated and acknowledged. Kji Niskam or Kisu'lk or Great Spirit was prominent in many of the stories and legends passed on through Mi'kmaq oral history.

Yes. Efforts are ongoing to promote Oil and gas exploration, construction, mining etc all with the native economy in mind.

One fact is that the mi'kmaq came to canada by floating on a large piece of ice from Europe to P.E.I (Prince Edward Island).

Another facts is that the mi'kmaq women and men both had long hair so it was confusing to see if it is a women or men.

One more fact is that each mi'kmaq band had a cheif called a sagamore.

The Mi'kmaq lived in houses called wigwams. Wigwams were made out of young sapling trees, and bark.

Remember that wigwams ARE NOT TIPIS. Tipis are completely different

Míkmaq Nation Flag

Commonly refered to as the Santéé Mawióómi flag or the Grand Council flag

The meaning of the Mííkmaq Nation Flag

Wapéék (White) - Denotes the purity of CreationMekwéék Klujjewey (Red Cross) - Represents mankind and infinity (four directions)Náákúúset (Sun) - Forces of the dayTepkunaset (Moon) - Forces of the night

Here is what you will need.

6 inch metal or wooden ring (willow is traditional)

9 feet of thin seude or colored wool

waxed nylon string ( dental floss works well)

12-16 feather in any colors you want

1 large feather to allow good spirits to escape web and enter room

Beads and shells

Glue (clothes pins to hold glued parts until dry)

glue one end of the suede or wool to the ring and affix the clothes pin to hold it in place until it dries. When it's dry take the pin off and wrap the suede or wool around the ring tightly until you reach the point where you started. Cut off any remaining material then glue it in place. Again place the pin over that to hold it until it dries.

Tie one end of the waxed nylon sting or dental floss to the ring, make 8-9 half hitch knots around the ring spacing them about 1 1/2 - 2 inches apart, keeping the thread pulled snug between the knots.

Begin the next row of the web in the middle of the string that you just weaved. You should begin to see a spider web forming. As your weaving you can add small buttons or beads to the string that will hang inside the spider web after it's done.

Cut 3 or 5 7" pieces of the suede or wool and tie two of them on either side of your ring a bit more than half way up, using a double knot, repeat this about equal distance to the bottom. Then tie the remaining one to the bottom in the very center.

Add beads and feathers using glue to secure.

Use the main large feather by hanging it from top left on an angle toward the bottom right with the tip of the feather over the ring and secure that with glue.

There you have a home made Dreamcatcher

in the eastern of Canada

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.

Basically yes. The languages are similar but more associated with the languages of the Montagnais and Cree in Quebec. The dialect of the Restigouche Micmac in Quebec differs enough from the Micmac of Nova Scotia that they have some difficulty in understanding each other.

While I am sure some of that behaviour occurred, the Mi'kmaq were a generous people and there would have been no need to "steal" food. Much trading went on and food was one of the sought after trade commodities desired by the Europeans. The Mi'kmaq greeted the explores with open arms because part of the Mi'maq legend predicted the arrival of strangers on floating islands (boats).

There was no chef,the women did the cooking.
