Awesome, I wish I knew who my Mi'kmaq and Iroquois ancestors were.

My 13th Great Grandfather 😊 hello, family.

That's not what I mean in a way. I'm not a Satanist, but why are so many people organized religion to this day ???

Killed !!! When you're dead you can't come back... 🤔

They're Tax-Free 🤔Don't make me start a tea party...

When I look @ my utility bills & the fees & taxes cost me more than I could possibly use... 🤔

We are cousins! I’m proud to be a descendant of Chief Henry Membertou, my G….Grandfather, and his wife, Marie. This video made me cry, too. I feel deeply connected to my native heritage, and have done since my earliest recollections. I believe the memories live in my DNA. I love my heritage and relatives!

I recently found out he is my 13th Great Grandfather ❤ I’ve always known about my family ties to Mi’kmaq, but had no idea just how much I’m connected. I love this.

Seriously dude. Please do not be disrespectful in these comments by telling people to stream Taylor Swift. This is not Twitter. Us Mi'kmaq come to this video to learn and connect with our lost culture.

@@chelsea342 hey sorry. i just commented this in school and me & my friends thought it was funny. i never meant it to be disrespectful

You can always research. If in your area may have local pow wows to learn about Native American culture and about the Mi'kmaq people. I leaned alittle from my family my great grandfather who's part Mi'kmaq and French.

Its called the feast song. It is so old that the translation has been lost, but it is sung to give thanks for all those who have given their lives to make our life possible, weather our ancestors, or the plants and animals we consume. Absolutely beautiful. I am not sure who's singing it in this version, but it has been done by many artists over the years.

It's called I'ko'. It's not sung in lyrics, it's sung in wordless chants. And we still have our language it isn't lost

@@BeautyFromDecay how many trees have been 'sacrificing' their lives all for the written word (and toilet paper)?

@@BeautyFromDecay Yes it is the Feast of Life song that was sung by my grandfather, Chief Ben Christmas, I have a cassette of him singing it that was given to me by my father Peter Christmas. I am singing this song in this video, Angela Christmas.

@@anativeamerican3140 what is the name of the thing that's loosely translated to" take what you need...."

Traci Noble I'm Mi'kmaw, is you have a question, I can answers it

Cape Breton historically was an important Mi'kmaq region and Lennox Passage was a heavily used travel corridor so there would be many old Mi'kmaq sites in the area. Not sure what kind of test they would have done on a stone arrowhead. At best you could have it inspected by a lithics expert who would be able to give you an idea of the style and perhaps the date range of use.

@@anativeamerican3140 I've got a question

Many people have creation stories but also accept the modern scientific theories of the movement of people which now is supported by DNA analysis. The Creation stories speak more to cultural aspects.

KweKanata we look white tho 😂 trust me.. memier is micmac n papier is penobscot.. I want to know more of my history

im from the Afton rez lol

The Sioux came up between 1600 - 1792 and joined the Mi'kmaq. The Algonquins and Huron came from Southern Ontario. The Iroquois came up from New York. If one was to take dna...it would reflect up to 7 - 10 nations. The Sioux was multicultural like Wounded Knee. Some had 5 - 7 dna country counts but it may not have included Tawaain/Jewish/and Turkish. Turkish dna may be in others but not in all. I do not have Turkish nor negro but have several other dna countries. My grandson has a sort of Japanese eyelid that slants differently from the nose up over the top eyelid which was a surprise. The rest of him is white. My name was in legal papers dealing with a documentary made in Halifax. My name was not used in the documentary but it was an alias tied to Hollywood and Nasa. And, again, with the Nasa movie on mathematicians they tried to turn me into negro but I am First Nations Sioux. I threatened to sue the networks that released the documentary on negros in Halifax as it contained other lies. Three of the presenters were Sioux indeed but there never was a swimming pool. They were just following gossip. Oh, I do believe in racism. I just don't believe in turning a First Nations into an African.

KweKanata I'm in Florida... Thinking about coming up there

Ancient East Coast North Americans walk to west coast europe 1000's of years ago. there is some information to suggest the Mi'Kmaq actually colonized Western Europe in the last Ice Age :) maybe those people still look a bit Mi'Kmaq? ;)

alwyn jeddore yeah, it's not all that different with the other dialect. Like the word for Pine Martin, in the Nova Scotia dialect it's "Patanu'j", but in the new Brunswick dialect it's "Patanuj". We're not all that different

I think in turo I really don't know

+Emily Googoo Thank you for your reply. I am hoping that you may find it interesting that the writing system of your ancestors is an item of study by certain people. Taken straight from one book I found on the internet, it says as follows: In the Micmac script, there were hundreds of different hieroglyphic signs, a considerable portion of which are clearly derived from, or even identical with, ancient Egyptian or their hieratic equivalents... French Catholic Priest Pierre Maillard wrote a 450 page book in Micmac Hieroglyphics in 1767. I just ordered a copy of the Book of Prayers in the Micmac hieroglyphs. I am really searching for some form of a dictionary of the hieroglyphs to English or any other modern language (French or other) and would really love to find something written prior to Pierre Maillard. But it sounds as though they may not be available. You may also be interested in knowing that the Book of Mormon states that your ancestors wrote in reformed Egyptian, as this is the original language that the Book of Mormon was written in. There are similarities between the transcribed characters Joseph Smith wrote on a paper to your language hieroglyphs. Some Mormons now will claim that your DNA contains haplogroup X type 2 which will link you to Jerusalem confirming the belief of many native Americans that their ancient Hebrew traditions found within their respective tribes did indeed originate from Isreal. If you learn any more about your writing system, please let me know. Thank you so much.

I will use me as an example. I am Sioux. I have English/Spanish/Italian/Norwegian-German/French/etc. It was the custom of First Nations North America to take in refugees, thus, multi-marriages. My grandmother, Roxanne Hoffman's family, came from Wounded Knee as survivors. My grandfather's, father and grandfather, brought in First Nations into Canada wherein they changed the names of Wounded Knee survivors, Little Big Horn and other's to French or English, German or Scottish as the US armies would demand the return of First Nations as they used them as free labour. There was a documentary on The Marinetimes wherein my name was used but an alias on TV. I do not have negro dna and had to respond as my mother came from Britain. There is confusion over the tan skin of First Nations but the majority were not negro. It was the Spanish/Portuguese/Italian/Tawaian/SouthAmerican-Mexican tan. The very first travellers were the Vikings. They could have come across the Bering Strait. The Laplanders were not Canadian, at first. They were part of the Sioux with the tents. A dna of Inuit brought forth Tawaian/Japanese and New Zealand (a little). The Vikings would also bring servants, slaves or sailors that they had gathered in their travels. You could read, "The Trail of the Black Walnut (tree)", as it mentions the movements of people into Canada (my kin) but it also mentions that the said Indians (erroneously named) were the surveyors and it was these surveyors that sold the lands and gave out the deeds in Ontario.

Brian i would like to chat with you

Check out Michael Bradley's book, Holy Grail Across the Atlantic. He speaks about the hieroglyphics used by the Mi'kmaq prior to contact. He also mentions the French Catholic priest (Pierre Maillard?) who purportedly taught the Mi'kmaq Egyptian hieroglyphics in order to translate the Bible to them(!?). Seems a strange way to go about it, prior to the Rosetta Stone & all. Why didn't he just teach them French? In any case, check out Bradley's book; it's a fascinating read.

Did u ever see Canada we are all hiding here because some of us aren't aloud the United States
