Muinawamek

Muinawamek, a Mi'kmaw name translated as the place of the bears, lies on the southern coast of Nova Scotia. This is a shore of sheltered inlets, islands and forest reaching toward the Atlantic. For generations the Mi'kmaq traveled along its waters, gathering food from both land and sea. The nearby coast includes harbors such as Port Joli and Port L'Hebert, where coves and islands provide shelter from the open ocean.
