Culture

Culture is the way of life. It is our past, our present and our future. It is our elders, our mothers, our fathers, our young people and our children. It is our language, beliefs, values, morals and principles. It is our stories and our legends. It is our relationship with our Mother Earth, time, and space. It is the inter-connectedness of all these which makes us who we are, Mi'kma'w people.
