Moving Towards a Better Tomorrow!
About us
Established in 2019, L’nuey is an initiative that focuses on the advancement, implementation, and protection of the constitutionally entrenched rights of the Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq (Mi’kmaq of PEI). This is particularly important as we begin the process of determining how our people can benefit from our rights as we begin negotiations through the Mi’kmaq-Prince Edward Island-Canada Framework Agreement. The Framework Agreement affirms the historic Mi’kmaq treaties and commits the Federal and Provincial governments to respectful and cooperative negotiations with the Mi’kmaq to deal with our outstanding Aboriginal and treaty rights claims. The work of L’nuey is guided by three responsibilities: Negotiations, consultation, and governance development. In turn, each responsibility is supported by the capacity to professionally communicate its activities to the Epekwitnewaq Mi’kmaq and public. L’nuey means ‘Belonging to or pertaining to the Mi’kmaq People as a whole’, and its tagline doubles as its mission: ‘Moving towards a better tomorrow’

Taking this opportunity to educate others with this small mouth bass medallion being an invasive species. Q: How long have you had it for?

This individual works with Forestry and Streams with the Abegweit FN, often using this piece for the purpose of educating others. Q: How do you feel when you hold it?
