Kepapskitk Gathering:  Heritage Through Our People

On Sunday, July 3, 2011 the people of Acadia First Nation celebrated an afternoon of learning about the Mi’Kmaq Culture and Traditions through food, music and hands on workshops. It was a fun filled afternoon for people of all ages. We’ve uploaded some photos so those who could not attend can see the festivities. Also, those who did attend can see what they were apart of in making Kepapskitk such a special day.
