The Mi'kmaq lived in Canada long before the country even got its name.
Before Europeans arrived, they lived in homes called wigwams and hunted
and fished throughout the Maritime provinces, living off and giving back
to the land. They enjoyed storytelling, drumming, and dancing within
their tight-knit communities.
