Metepenagiag Mi'kmaq Nation in New Brunswick may soon hear more rhythmic tapping after community members attended a workshop on how to make a ji'kmaqn, a traditional Mi'kmaw instrument.Love this! is this accessible for everyone to play, or is it sacred? I am a music teacher in the public schools and this would make an excellent addition to the curriculum if it was appropriate to share. ❤️
Found this wonderful article with a mention about Metepenagiag and our very own Stephen Paul 🙂

“In this reconciliation process that Canada is undergoing, it’s incumbent upon us to teach people who want to learn,” says Cecelia Brooks.
What a beautiful day it was yesterday at our Metepenagiag Heritage Park Lookout Point! It's these little moments that count.
Take a quiet walk with Mother Nature - it will heal your mind, body, and soul.
The earth has music for those who listen.
Sure is serene and Beautiful

Yesterday, the board of directors of "Société Nationale de l'Acadie" (The National Society of Acadia) came all the way from Moncton to visit the Metepenagiag Heritage Park! Taking a step back in time, they were immersed into a culturally rich experience, learning the ways in which our ancestors lived thousands of years ago. On behalf of the Metepenagiag Heritage Park, we thank you for your visit and look forward to seeing you back again soon!
