Aboriginal Peoples: The Mi'kmaq: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage __ "Historians and archaeologists differ as to when the Mi'kmaq first came to Newfoundland. Newfoundland Mi'kmaq oral tradition holds that the Mi'kmaq were living in Newfoundland prior to European contact. There is some historical evidence that the Mi'kmaq were living in Newfoundland by the 16th century, and by the 17th century there are increasing references to the Mi'kmaq in the historical record."

Info Sheet - The Mi'kmaq __ Here you will find many aspects of Mi'knaq life and history. "The First Nations People of Nova Scotia are known as the Mi'kmaq. At the time of first contact with European explorers in the 16th and 17th centuries the Mi'kmaq lived in the region now known as the Maritime provinces and the Gaspé peninsula. Later they also settled in New England and Newfoundland. The Mi'kmaq called themselves L'nu'k, meaning "the people." The term Mi'kmaq comes from their word nikmak, meaning "my kin-friends." - illustrated - From Nova Scotia Museum - http://museum.gov.ns.ca/arch/infos/mikmaq1.htm

Students, teachers, researchers or anybody else needing printing, whether flyers, cards, brochures, magazines, catalogs, even newspapers, or much of anything else, from my own personal experience I highly recommend Southwest Offset Printing and Publishers Printing Group.  If they can't do it, they probably know somebody who can.
