"Mawi'omi" means "Gathering"
“Mawi’omi” means “gathering” to celebrate our culture and preserve our traditions for generations to come.
Culture, history, traditions, practices, and language have always been central to the Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq story and help shape our identity.
Our new culture campaign shines a light on past ways, highlights current contributions, and looks towards the future.
“Our new generation of children are realizing the importance of their own culture and they are very drawn to it. We have to get back to the way we’re supposed to be. It’s important to recognize where we came from to celebrate where we’re going.” - Elder Doreen Jenkins, Abegweit First Nation
