The Mi'kmaq Origin Story has been passed on orally throughout time. It was passed on generation to generation.
The story talks about how the first Mi'kmaq people were created and about important teachings. It is for that reason it makes it timeless because it still applies and being told throughout mi'kma'ki.
The Mi'kmaq Origin story is important to me and our people. it tells us how we were created and of the balance between nature and the animals. Also why and how we do the ceremonies.
For me this origin story makes sense of how we all were created. And why it's important to learn about where we are from and how to respect it.
There are hundres of stories told about the first Mi'kmaq human kluskap.
Kluskaps creation happened in Newfoundland. But the stories told about him takes also place all over Mi'kma'ki. The stories told often take hours, sometimes days.
If one really listen to the origin story and look at it with open eyes. One will see it really makes sense.

I’m glad I found this. I learned last year that I am a descendant of Henri Membertou but sadly my family always denied their Mi’kmaq heritage.

My family just found out recently that my great grandmother was Mi'Kmaq. I'd really love to learn more about that part of my families culture

Kwe', me'tawilein? Welieksitpuk! 25% Mi'qmaw and 25% Inuit. with the rest being alot of random white lol. Thank you for this, I am on a journey the past few month trying to reconnect to my culture. Sadly my entire life being cross raced I have been shunned by the Inuit, Mi'qmaw and white Canadians and still feel so lost. This helps connecting my life story I feel is so shattered by the times. Funny the only people to accept me is the new Qalipu tribe which should honestly be a shame on the entire native community. We need to accept that times change and try to teach our languages and traditions to those who will listen. Shame on anyone who shames natives, white people and especially the Qalipu who accepted me as a founding member and will be forever proud of this fact. Wela'lin!

Perchance explores the ever broadening idea of “timeless classics” by sharing with you the first 25 performances of artists living and working here in Newfoundland and Labrador. Through their voices we will see and hear stories and plays passed down through the generations from cultures and countries around the world. Some are funny, some are romantic, some are thrilling, and some are instructional - all have captured the imagination of people who have gone before and continue to be passed down through time. Learn what these universal themes reveal to us about being human in The Power of One: World Classics.

In a collection of Wabanaki legends from the mid 1800’s, it is said that Glooskap created men and little people from the ash tree. But that isn’t mentioned here or in Stephen Augustine’s account. Hmmm, I wonder.
