The Mi'kmaq are an Algonquian-speaking people of Eastern Woodland culture, and the dominant First Nations group of the Canadian Maritime provinces. At the time of first European contact they occupied what is now eastern New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec. Traditionally the Mi'kmaq subsisted by hunting, fishing, and gathering, with the fur trade being of great importance in the early contact period. In the twentieth century the Mi'kmaq live on government reserves; thirteen in Nova Scotia, nine in New Brunswick, four in Quebec, two in Prince Edward Island, and one in Newfoundland. Welfare and work projects are the major sources of income on most reserves. Men travel to cities to work in construction or factories from some reserves.
