The only place I have ever read/heard of Mikmaqs is in the Stephen King novel Pet Semetary. They are real?
Yes. The Mi’kmaqs are real. They are a Canadian Tribe, but there are quite a few in Maine as well. Hence the Stephen King reference.
I am about 65% Mi’kmaq, Scots/Irish, and “Acadian”. The rest of me is Anglo/Saxon, Scandenavian, and “Iberian” (Spanish).
The Mi’kmaq are known fort their exquisite quill-work, beadwork, and basketry.
My sister lives in Northern Maine, and is quite active with the Tribe, most of whom are Conservative, Evangelical Christians or Roman Catholic.
“P*ssyhats” are NOT part of our traditional Tribal Regalia! LOL!
