How did the great deportation affect the Mik'maq?
For the Micmac, the deportation was very traumatic. Many were already converted to Roman Catholic and intermarried with the French for several generations, many of the Acadian deportee's were close relatives, and it is difficult to imagine anything the British could have done which would have enraged the Micmac more. Mi'kmaq attacked the British army forts and the newly built settlements of the New England colonists. The forts that were intended to protect those settlements were attacked and burned. By 1756 the British in Nova Scotia were paying bounties for Micmac scalps, £30 for warrior scalps and £25 for women and children prisoners and the settlers were happily collecting as many as they could.

What environment did the Micmac live in before Europeans came?
The Mi'kmaq were the dominant tribe on the east coast of Canada prior to the European settlers arriving. They did not practice much agriculture because of their northern climate and short growing season but some villages planted small plots of corn and root vegetables. Skilled hunter-gatherers they were reliant on canoes and the open waters of the sea for fish, crustaceans, marine mammals, moose and small game. The Mi'kmaq were also skilled at traveling in snow, utilizing snowshoes, sleds and Taba'gan from where the modern term Toboggan comes from. It is said the mi'kmaq migrated from the north well before the 1500's. Actual Mi'kmaq lore claims ownership of tribal lands at the very begining of time.
How did the Mi'kmaq make a dreamcatcher?
Historically, the only native American tribe that mayhave made dream-catchers were the Ojibwa/Chippewa, but even that is far from certain.
Dream-catchers are a product of the Hippy movement (love and peace) of the 1960s, when shops selling beadwork (often made in China), dream-catchers, posters, oriental statues and incense appeared across Europe and the USA.
Natives began to produce these things even though they were never part of their own culture or history, simply because tourists expected to be able to buy them.
What did the Micmac do for recreation?
Early in the year (spring), the Mi'kmaq lived on shallow-water fish, such as the flounder, which lives on mudflats in the low-tide zone and in the mouths of rivers where it can be speared, caught on hooked lines or trapped in weirs. Simple V-shaped lines of obstacles (wood, rocks, etc) were constructed across the streams, which forced the fish to pass through a narrow opening, where a basket or net was used to capture them.
For larger fish such as sturgeon and salmon, the Mi'kmaq used a spear. Some spears were elaborate three prong devises, while others were simple single point, barbed harpoons. Woven traps were used for both fish and crustaceans like lobster and crawfish on inland lakes. One of the favoured foods of the Mi'kmaq is eel. Ash splint eelpots were used to gather spawning eel.

What is the American Indian meaning for the suffix keag in the name of places such as kanduskeag?
The word kanduskeag (as a river and place name) is also recorded as kenduskeag, condeskeag, conduskeagor even kenderqnit and relates to the Abenaki/Penobscot language - a member of the Algonquian language group. Local tradition says that it means "place of spearing eels", "place where eels gather", "eel weir place" or "where eels are caught", but the Penobscot word for eel is nahômo.
It is clear from the different versions of the name mentioned above that settlers were not too bothered about accurately recording native place-names, but the element -keag appears in many locations in Maine: Mattawamkeag, Naskeag, Passadumkeag, Weskeag. It is likely to simply mean "place".
