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.

The L’nuey Midwifery Program is working toward the development of a Mi’kmaw-led midwifery program in Nova Scotia, focusing on strengthening community-based birthwork, creating pathways for future Mi’kmaq midwives, and supporting culturally grounded approaches to pregnancy, birth, and family care.
As part of this initiative, Tajikeimɨk is organizing a community gathering in late November to bring together women with experience or a strong interest in supporting families through pregnancy and birth. Their knowledge, experiences, and perspectives will help guide the future of Mi’kmaw midwifery.
Community Participation Opportunity – Responses Requested by Friday, November 6, 2026
The goal is to welcome 2–3 women from each Chapter/community, including an Elder or Knowledge Sharer where possible.

Gathering Details:
Date: Late November 2026 (exact date to be confirmed)
