Meet the team
The Indigenous Knowledge (IK) Department’s purpose is to continue to research and apply the experiences and observations of Elders and knowledge keepers, especially around historical and present land use and occupancy of the Mi’gmaq within New Brunswick. The IK Department can often be found meeting community members on activities taking place on the lands and waters within this province.
The Indigenous Knowledge team at Mi’gmawe’l Tplu’taqnn Incorporated is dedicated to preserving, promoting, and revitalizing the rich cultural heritage and traditional knowledge of the Mi’gmaq people. Our team collaborates with elders, knowledge keepers, and community members to document and share the profound wisdom passed down through generations.
We are committed to integrating this invaluable knowledge into community life, education, and environmental stewardship. We aim to empower future generations with a strong sense of identity and cultural pride by fostering a deep respect for our traditions and ensuring their continuity.
