Mi’kmaq Hunters

DID YOU KNOW THAT……….

The seven hunting districts, the original tribal territories of
the Mi’kmaq extended from Newfoundland along the east coast including
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, parts of Maine and
Quebec along the Gaspe’ Penninsula. These hunting districts remain as a
recognized territory today.

Those districts are: kespukwitk; sikepne’katik; eski’kewaq; unama’kik;
piktuk aqq epekwitk; sikniketewaq; and kespe’kewaq.

The seven points of the sun represent the seven districts. An
eight point was added to the Mi’kmaq star, which was seven pointed
to represent the new district/ nation - the British.
