Map of Mi’kma’ki
Parks Canada worked closely with Mi’kmaq and other local groups to create this map that showcases not only the landscape of the region but also preserves its cultural significance through the translation of important place names. These names reflect hunting grounds, landmarks, fishing spots, and natural elements significant to the Mi’kmaq and indicative of their deep connection to the environment.
