The community's story begins in the sixteenth century when the Mi'gmaq is constantly intallent in Gaspé Bay. In their Gespeg village, our ancestors have maintained for decades links with European fishermen. The Recollect Chrestien Le Clercq began his mission with Mi'gmaq and leaves written erecting a representative picture of the daily life of the natives.

Although these new products and foreign influences were appearing, the Mi'gmaq of the time still retain their values and traditional lifestyle by living in close contact with nature that surrounds them.

Three centuries later, Gespeg is again impregnated with this atmosphere erected  a replica of a camp and an interpretive site that allow visitors to discover the world of the Mi'gmaq through the four seasons. This place of exchange promotes the preservation of our traditions and our deep knowledge of the environment and enhances our expertise acquired over the years.
