A strong, proud, and vibrant Mi’kmaq community

 

Lennox Island First Nation | Epektwik (Prince Edward Island)

A Welcome from the Chief

Welcome to Lennox Island First Nation, Prince Edward Island, Canada. Our Mi’kmaq community is strong, proud and vibrant.

Steeped in Mi’kmaq culture and traditions that have been passed down to us since time immemorial, our community has embraced our past and present and we look forward to our journey into a bright and thriving future.

Approximately 450 residents call this special place “home” while countless thousands of others can trace their roots back to this fair soil. Generations of Aboriginal people have respected and cherished these lands and waters.

Archaeological evidence and oral traditions indicate the presence of our ancestors on the shores of Malpeque Bay dating back 12,000 years. Our spiritual attachment and connection endures and this place in the Malpeque Bay has significance to us, which all Canadians can appreciate.
