Mi'kmaq (Micmac)
The Mi'kmaq (Micmac) are Wbanaki peoples whose traditional homelands are spread across present-day Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and parts of northern Maine. Most of these bands have been members of the Wabanaki Confederacy at different points in time. Today, many Canadian bands are united under the Atlantic Council of Chiefs. The Aroostook Mi'kmaq of Maine are the only band of Mikmaq recognized in the United States. Culturally and linguistically, they are all eastern Algonkian.
