Love to hear the language spoken. The father of our kids Duma McDonald, his mum Rachel Dedham Sock of New Brunswick spoke fluent mikmak. He taught me a lot. Miss the language 🪶🦅🪶🐢✊🏽🤙🏽

This was not only a musical instrument, be warned it can be used in both ways. It can be used to Invite prey or to scare certain others away...

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

It was used way back in the day to keep Critters in check. It was a multi-purpose instrument...

I love listening to the sound of this beautiful language! It helps to hear it and be able to read subtitles. I hope many more fluent speakers will do this. I have one recording of an elder speaking fluently but I need help translating it.

Mam, I'm trying to behave. I once again tried to make a Donation to Camp Sunshine. And once again they froze my card !!! Why is Camp Sunshine on a Black List ???

Ji'kmaqn is known as Jamaican who sailed there many moons ago and procreated with the Mi'kmaq. The black underground slaves from America were not the first to settle in Nova Scotia. My ex Mother inlaw is from Nova Scotia and she knows her history.

Why haven't I received my Canadian Papers & why is my brother of darker skin not recognized as a Micmac ???
