Resilience of the Mi’kmaq: Reclaiming Identity in Newfoundland | SLICE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

Credit: SLICE

Discover the remote and frigid Newfoundland Island, off the coast of Quebec. Drawn by its rich fishing grounds, European settlers arrived, bringing devastation to the Indigenous Mi’kmaq community. This marked the beginning of a “genocide by a million small wounds.”

Displaced from their ancestral coastal routes, the Mi’kmaq of Miawpukek faced centuries of cultural erasure. Today, under the leadership of Chief Misel Joe, they are fiercely fighting to reclaim their identity, revive their language, and restore their rites. Join us as we explore their inspiring journey of resilience and cultural revival.
