EXPLORE

Three centuries later, Gespeg is once again imbued with this period atmosphere, as a reproduction of a camp and an interpretation site have been erected there, allowing visitors to discover the world of the Mi’gmaq through the four seasons. The construction of the site we know today was carried out in 1997 thanks to the hard work of the community and the knowledge of an ethnoarchaeologist. This place of exchange is a pillar of our culture and promotes the preservation of our traditions and our deep knowledge of the environment.
