Do you live in one of our Newfoundland Mi’kmaq communities such as Bay of Islands, Flat Bay, Burgeo, or Badger? Do you have roots in Port au Port, Exploits or Millertown?
Have you camped, hunted or travelled Newfoundland areas and have stories or pictures that you would like to share? Have you heard family stories about logging, guiding or fishing in Newfoundland?
We are collecting stories, pictures and information that we can add to our online interactive Mi’kmaq place names map.
Sharing knowledge through storytelling is a strong Mi’kmaq tradition that we continue today. By capturing some of these memories, and adding them to an online interactive map, we can preserve stories about the places that are special to us.
If you would like to share, please contact Nicole Travers at the following email: ntravers@qalipu.ca or tel. (709) 634-3856.
We also invite you to view our interactive Ktaqmkuk Mi’kmaq Place Names map of Newfoundland.
