We provide Mi'kmaq community services, cultural and traditional programming, infrastructure building, language vitalization, job creation, indigenous history and heritage, elder support, food security for vulnerable households and we do this in a balance with our traditional lands and ecosystem.

Sagmaw
Chosen by the Elders Advisory Council, our Sagmaw guides our path.
Since 1972 we have begun the journey to Truth and Reconcilation. Mi'kmaw lived off our sacred lands since long before the arrival of the Europeans. We are of the land. We are one with the forest, one with the water, one with the wind, and one with the animals. We are proud Eagle (Kitpu) clan...our rights are protected under Section 35 under the Canadian constitution.
