The Atlantic Canada's First Nations Help Desk provides resources
dealing with the language and culture of the Indian (First Nations)
people, but is primarily concentrated on the Mi'kmaq people. They
started a contest for students in November which will be used to help
them expand information they've gathered from elders. The students'
assignment is "Write a question on any topic that you would like to
have an elder answer." The current information and videos about
elders may be viewed on their website at
The Mi'kmaq Honor Song shown there is only part of the full song,
which is quite beautiful and is being proud of being Indian. The full
song by a school choir, along with the Mi'kmaq words and English
translation, may be found at
Other songs, including some Christmas songs, may be heard at
Other Mi'kmaq cultural resources are found at
