Indigenous Knowledge

The Indigenous Knowledge team at Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Incorporated is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and revitalizing the rich cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of the Mi’gmaq people. Our team collaborates with elders, knowledge keepers, and community members to document and share the profound wisdom passed down through generations. We are committed to integrating this invaluable knowledge into community life, education, and environmental stewardship. We aim to empower future generations with a strong sense of identity and cultural pride by fostering a deep respect for our traditions and ensuring their continuity.
