emittugwalatl: keep company, visit

Imagine yourself in quiet darkness surrounded only by the light of fire. Smell the warm scent of sweetgrass as one of our Mi'kmaq elders performs the age-old sweetgrass ceremony. Listen to their voices as they take you back over 10,000 years, with tales of life, death and survival. This is the story of our people, delivered through a vibrant and mystical presentation of words and pictures.

Storytelling is an intricate part of Mi'kmaq culture, and in this context you'll learn about early ways of life, hunting and fishing traditions, language, spirituality and ceremonies -- along with compelling details and archived photographs about European contact and its effect on our history.

Feel enlightened and refreshed as you step back in time for a glimpse of Mi'kmaq pride, resilience, and compassion for all living things.
