Knetkuk

Knetkuk is the Mi'kmaw name associated with the Kennetcook River in central Nova Scotia. The river runs toward the tidal waters of the Minas Basin, where an incoming tide can send a bore upstream. Its wooded banks formed part of a network of routes linking the Shubenacadie valley with the lands around the basin. Historical records describe Mi'kmaq hunting along the Kennetcook and a seasonal residence by the river, whose waters and surrounding forest supported travel and gathering.
