Apaqtukowatek

Apaqtukowatek lies on Cape Breton Island near the Bras d'Or, an inland sea of bays and wooded shores. Mi'kmaq families hunted and travelled around these waters, and speared eels from canoes in the shallows. Farther south, Chapel Island became a gathering place: in 1735 the missionary Pierre Maillard preached to the Mi'kmaq there.
