"The Mi’kmaq Nation is expanding.

The tribe on Friday obtained title to Mesgilg Maqamigew, a nearly 3,400-acre
parcel near Bridgewater. The land return is so large it will more than double
the tribe’s holdings.

“For decades the Mi’kmaq citizens have seen their traditional hunting and
gathering grounds disappear to development or private ownership not allowing
access,” Chief Sheila McCormack said in a news release. “This property will
give our people a place for outdoor recreation, a place to teach our children
how to hunt and fish, and a place we can pass down the traditions of our
ancestors before they are forgotten.”"
