I’m a descendant of Chief Henri and I’m also have Ship Burial Vendall Period. My African DNA is from the Mali Empire, which was Timbuktu all this has appeared in my DNA results and within my family tree. Chapdeliane,Menards LeBlanc and Cartier. Nice hearing my research confirmed regarding my ancestors of Turtle Island. Sun child . Kemet DNA is present.We must be aware of motherland One Love. Northumberland Monks from Holy Island is our legacy!

A lot of us so called Africans were native here aswell I would love to hear some of the teachings on the first inhabitants because it’s already confirmed that the first writing were hieroglyphs

Thanks for sharing this. Wonderful hearing Poutrincourt and the rest were welcomed by Membertou and his people. My mothers a decent of the Poutrincourt ancestry and my fathers side was married into the Mi’kmaq community via one of Membertous daughters (Pierre Lejeune and Marie Kagigonias). I’m just learning all of this and it’s incredibly humbling learning about all of these stories of our past. 🧡

I really enjoyed this. Thank you for putting it on you tube! Love from Nova Scotia !!

[@dorisrawlings6801]

Our ancestors were great navigators and I believe they scholars traveled to Timbuktu. Champlain is relatives of DuPont family and they are related to the Menard aka Minor. Jacques Cartier in my humble opinion is a descendant of Mail Empire. Simply because he appears in my family tree. African DNA is Mali Empire. Mik maq descendants desire recognition! DuPont donated massive land mass. All interconnected!

[@kosherpickle]

thank you. very informative

[@cathylee4234]

I found Membertou in my tree many times as my 12th great grand father.

Jean/John fraser and Marie-cecile Fraser are my ancestors, along with Isidore Bastarache forming Bouctouche, NB. I am trying to get clan information and I cannot. The name Marie and Margaurite are kept in the family. One way or another.
