Mi'kMaq Powwow - Mi'kmaq: First Nation people (4/6)

[@JosephBarlow-zj3gs]

Proud to be a full blooded Mi'kmaq Indian with the teachings of the elders

[@JosephBarlow-zj3gs]

From the reservation o Indian island in New Brunswick Canada in which i want to return before I get to old

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I remember when they had a POW WOW in Franshot park in Olean N.Y... A pow wow is not only about the Dance... Many call it a war dance but it's truly not like that. It's about getting to know one another. What we stand for as a Native people, clean water, clean air & self sustainability.

[@RoxannePionArt]

I am Mi'kmaq, and don't know my fathers side. I would like to learn more about my ancestry. I am from Mtl and my family from Nova Scotia. Thank you for this community and for the unity and love it shows. May it keep growing.

[@kady7319]

I am mi’kmaq from Newfoundland 🖤

[@enigmamidnight]

I learned I was Mi’kMaq in recent years, as well as have answered my calling as a shaman prior to. Things made sense. I continued following my journey. It has lead me back to the same answer every time the question has been asked. The answer is simple “find your tribe”. I have been looking to visit with people that share my ancestry to see through their eyes as well as my own. How do I get in touch with people will and able to help me learn?

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

That's what happened when my Grandmother Irene Died... They came from Canada... They got drunk as a matter of fact, I had to help them up on the couch: of my grandmothers house... 🤔

[@jamesmoore3741]

Hello my name and James. I've recently traced my descendancy and found out the Matriarch of my family was a Mi'kmaq Indian woman. Back on 1600s Halifax. Her name was Catherine Lejuene. Have any of you heard of this name? I very interested in my Metis/Mi'kmaq roots. BTW I'm from Louisiana the Acadian side of my ancestry. Thnx

[@zoeazsss5035]

James Moore Not sure if this helps. Best of luck in your search wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=11221a&id=I10692

[@THEPunisher1255]

hi my name is anisha and i too have found ancestry thru lejuene.. not catherine but it was a sibling

[@THEPunisher1255]

also from louisiana

[@Aldersees75]

Hi there! I have a distant relative named Pierre Michel Lejeune who married a Mi'kmaq woman named Jeane Membertou, daughter of Henri Membertou.

[@TheDreadnaut98]

I'm a Mi'kMaw halfling frrom St.Johns from the 60's. We are many, you know this. You are drawn here, and yet not. We were given to orphanages, and "picked" out. Where, are my Mik'Maw parents?

[@chrisarablackkettle6176]

Good strategy

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

There was this Band Called Alibi, we drew numbers. But Sadly we lost the lead Guitarist. I'm just trying to tell you what was going through my head! I'm not trying to mention names. Yeah, we used to joke around like that. He looked like Wolfman Jack...

[@mistersmooth79]

I’m a descendant of Jean Roy and his half Mi’kmaq wife, Marie Dubois.

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

Look @ my yearbook, this is the way Micmac Indians have always been treated. I was impoverished, I had to wear my sister's worn-out disco pants. Imagine @ a young age how that felt ???

[@TheNiekab]

I am mic mac/ malleseet my grammy was the same we lived in Fort Fairfield, Me.I love this so much, I am 3 rd generations and learned that dance.

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

The Senecas tell me a a Ladies feet never Leave the floor. But as a Micmac when a male dances his feet will often leave the floor. That's considered a distraction ??? So if I put one down in front of you I mean no disrespects !!! 🤔

[@volgawolfhounds741]

No one can own lobsters before they are caught. The Mi'kmaq have protected these animals' futures forever. They are the overfishers.

[@wovokanarchy]

The dress and dance sure resembles the tribal cultures from the Great Plains. I guess pan-Indianism is the new traditionalism for many First Nations who have lost so much.

[@lenz40]

wovokanarchy like the men’s traditional dancers said, the plains pow wows were adopted into Mikmaq culture, we had our own version of a traditional gathering, but we didn’t have “pow wows” until later on

[@KimBTown]

3:20 adresses this.

[@wovokanarchy]

@@KimBTown It's ridiculous. Why not do Kachina ceremonies or stomp dances? It would be as authentic as this sad cultural appropriation of western Plains cultures.

[@MsAncaran]

this has good quality for 2013

[@crosisofborg5524]

You think 2013 had archaic technology?

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

My mom is still the same today...

[@ВладимирСолнышкин-д3я]

you need to adjust the content

[@holmes1978]

God Bless there are a lot of Driscoll from Newfoundland from this tribe trying to find there family tree '!

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I'm guilty like that, I dance to keep the peace. As I have aged I have a shaky leg syndrome...

[@tonyashannon7435]

Any Finnish from Burnt Church Quebec?

[@tonyashannon7435]

Ginnish

[@Saguanay]

Burnt Church Quebec? Do you mean Esgenoopetitj in New Brunswick?

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

In the yearbook, you can clearly see I was dressed in certain kinda duds. That looked like they came from an evangeled era...

[@keithbutt6855]

French Alden I guess so am I

[@goldensuki]

Why do they look white?

[@slyricky9502]

White people have been in the area for nearly 500 years. There has been a lot of contact

[@kavikv.d.hexenholtz3474]

Years of intermarriage with the French.

[@damageincorporatedmetal43v73]

I Can't Dance, I Can't sing... These medications they have me on. Since my breathing went south. I wonder about my Uncle Rudy with the Trees & Forest's Burning...

[@jameshart678]

Miq'macs in the United States??! They're native to Nova Scotia & Newfoundland in Canada... Anything south of New Brunswick/Maine is Abenaki territory.

[@MMWALSH98]

Research the tarrantines Nitap

[@lenz40]

the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Abenaki, and Penobscot are The Abenaki/wabenaki confederacy and are indigenous to the Maritime provinces of Canada and the north western coastal areas of the states

[@yehudithisrael8554]

All originated from the Tribe of Gad from the Nation of Israel. A scattered people throughout the earth.

[@PeterFranks-ls5qw]

why are they lobsters that are spawning,this is not right.these fish need to reproduce ,the natives did the same thing on lake of the prairies they over fished illegally sold the fish to but liquor and than they complained when there were no fish in the new season. these natives need to be stopped and if natives are given water treatment plants ,sewage disposal units ,they need to maintain them,they like to complain but never maintain,as a white taxpayer i am tired of paying taxes in my 80s so these natives can wreck what we give them.correct this enough wasdte by thge natives.
