Dry summer shrinks N.S. lake, revealing 'works of art' in ancient Mi'kmaw artifacts
Digging Keji — Archeological discoveries hint at Mi'kmaq lives going back six millennia
He's standing beside the Mersey where construction crews are building a new bridge that will span 150 feet across the water without touching it. Both sides are an archeologist's dream.
For the millennia between 6,500 years ago and 1,400 years ago — even up to 500 years ago — the Mersey River is a huge archive of archeological evidence of the Mi'kmaq heritage in Nova Scotia, he said.
"So from that perspective, once you consider the artifacts and the features associated with the artifacts and the numerous petroglyphs that are found along the river system — all the way — then you do see that this is a very significant component of Mi'kmaq heritage in Nova Scotia, or Mi'kma'ki," Burke said, using the indigenous term for the Mi'kmaq Nation.

...In a recent presentation before the Kentville Historical Society, David MacInnes spoke about the extinction of deer, questioning its cause. Was it overhunting by "the ancestors of the Mi'kmaq or was it due to other factors?" he asked.
November A group of Mi'kmaq First Nations partnering with Premium Brands Holdings Corp. announced their $1 billion purchase of Clearwater Seafoods which represented the "largest investment in the seafood industry by a Canadian Indigenous group". This means that harvest of non-Indigenous fishermen would be purchased by Clearwater Seafoods' Mi'kmaq part owners. Just prior to the Clearwater sale, a number of non-indigenous fishers had violently protested Mi'kmaq traditional lobster fishers during the 2020 lobster fishing season.[291]

...One thing to keep in mind, from Annapolis Royal to Liverpool there are an estimated 250 known indigenous archeological sites which makes up the Mersey River corridor — it contains 25 per cent of all the (indigenous) archeological sites in Nova Scotia," he said.
