Our community is made up of Mi’kmaq people who have lived in this area for thousands of years.
We are a small indigenous community located in Nova Scotia, Canada, near the southern shores of Antigonish Harbour, directly off of highway 104, about 15 minutes from the Town of Antigonish.
Our community is surrounded by beautiful natural landscapes, including forests, lakes, and rivers. We take pride in our culture and traditions, which have been passed down from generation to generation.
Our community is home to a variety of cultural events, including powwows, traditional feasts, and drumming circles. We also have a strong connection to the land, and many of our community members are involved in fishing, hunting, and trapping. Our language, Mi’kmaq, is an integral part of our culture, and we are working to revitalize it among our people.
Despite the challenges that we have faced as an indigenous community, we remain resilient and committed to preserving our way of life. We welcome visitors to our community and encourage everyone to learn more about our culture and traditions.

Kwe, Paqtnkek community members. Looking forward to our community feast this weekend. We need some cooks for a couple of turkeys, dubs and carrots.
Please don't feel like you have to make anything big for the feast (or that you have to make something to attend). Remember many small dishes of food feeds many people. And if we have a couple of turkeys and dubs some side dishes, desserts and bread would be great. Anything is appreciated. 😊❤️
What's everyone making for our community feast???
