Mi'kmaq History Month

Our language plays a huge role in who we are as Mi'kmaq. It holds secrets and our world views and connects us to our environment and ourselves. It is part of ou...r identity.

Featured on the 2017 Mi'kmaq History Month poster: The Mi’kmaq are renowned craftspeople and carvers. The earliest hockey sticks were made from ash, elm and birch. Handcrafted Mi’kmaw hockey sticks were even sold in the 1902 Eaton winter catalogue, where you could order a child’s hockey stick for 15 cents. We used spruce to make our hockey pucks due to its strength and stability when struck. Cut half an inch above and below the branch whorl, it was the same dimensions as today’s official NHL puck. #mikmaqhistorymonth Mi'kmawey Debert Cultural Centre
