	Mi'kmaq Portraits Collection
		The Nova Scotia Museum's Mi'kmaq Portraits Collection is a database of more than 700 portraits and illustrations that provides a glimpse into the history of the Mi'kmaq of Atlantic Canada.
		While the collection does not list all of the historical Mi'kmaq portraits still in existence, it is a beginning and is a tool for educators and students to learn about Mi'kmaq heritage, while offering researchers access to a comprehensive collection of images.
		Thousands of years before the arrival of European settlers, the Mi'kmaq called themselves L'nu'k, which simply means 'the people,' 'human beings.' Their present name, Mi'kmaq, derives from nikmaq, meaning 'my kin-friends.' Their descendants are still living in the area now known as the Atlantic Provinces and the Southern Gaspe Bay Peninsula.

	Mi'kmaq Language and the Mi'kmaq Indian Tribe (Micmac Indians, Mikmaq, Mi'kmaw, Mikmaw, Mikmak)
		Mi'kmaq is written alphabetically today, but in the past it was written in pictographs.
		Although Mi'kmaq is one of the healthier American Indian languages, the number of children learning the language has been in decline since the 1970's.
		For their part, the Mi'kmaq people were staunch allies of the French in good times and bad, and if the tribe had not been devastated by smallpox and other European diseases, the history of Nova Scotia might have been written very differently.

		The Mi'kmaq were kinfolk and traditional allies of the Abenaki, Penobscot, Passamaquoddy, and Maliseet Indians, with whom they formed the historic Wabanaki Confederacy of New England and the Maritimes.
		For their part, the Mikmaq people were staunch allies of the French in good times and bad, and had their ranks not been devastated by smallpox and other European diseases (Mi'kmaq losses are estimated at around 15,000, from an original population of 20,000) the history of Nova Scotia might have been written very differently.

		Although it is clear that Mikmaq were sporadically at war with their indigenous neighbours as well as Europeans during the seventeenth century, attributing these conflicts to efforts to enlarge beaver-hunting territory, as opposed (say) to prestige, revenging insults and injuries, or the reverberations of European imperialism, is purely speculative.
		Mikmaq only briefly enjoyed a monopoly of the French trade in furs early in the seventeenth century, and by the 1690s a continual war between English and French colonies had spread to all the indigenous nations of the St. Lawrence watershed.
		Mikmaq were still half the total population of Mikmakis in Le Clercq's time, but less than one half of one per cent of the population 150 years later.

		Mikmaq customary law was a subtle and complex normative order, where flux was the universal norm and there was no noun-based system of positive law.
		From a Mikmaq perspective, to freeze understandings into rules violated processes designed to balance the inherent flexibility of their worldview.
		The effectiveness of Mikmaq customary law relied on the value placed on self-control or discipline rather than authority from above and responsible behaviour was rewarded with honour, respect and solidarity.

		Mikmaq began to sell their furs to Europeans more than four centuries ago, while contending directly and often violently with Europeans for the control of Atlantic fishing grounds.
		Although Mikmaq were slowly displaced and reduced to destitution by settlers, they continued to hunt, fish and trap on a reduced scale and remained largely independent until the 1960s, when new federal licensing regimes for fishing contributed to a surge of Mikmaw nationalism.
		Although the conditions that made Mikmaq fishing self-regulating no longer exist, the federal management regime is even more of a threat to the survival of fish stocks and fishing communities.

		It is further stated that for more than 100 years Mikmaq territorial and political rights have been in dispute with the Government of Canada, which claimed absolute sovereignty over Mikmakik by virtue of its independence from the United Kingdom in 1867.
		It is claimed, however, that the Mikmaqs' right of self-determination has never been surrendered and that their land, Mikmakik, must be considered as a non-self-governing territory within the meaning of the Charter of the United Nations.
		In particular, they refer to a 1987 hearing conducted jointly by the AFN and several Canadian Government departments, at which Mikmaq leaders submitted a package of constitutional proposals and protested "in the strongest terms any discussion of Mikmaq treaties at the constitutional conferences in the absence of direct Mikmaq representation".
