In ancient times Mi'kmaq people established a village where the Little Southwest and Northwest Miramichi Rivers meet. The village site was excellent, one of the best fishing locations within the entire river system. The community was strong and generation after generation flourished. The river and the surrounding lands and forests provided an abundance of tasty foods, effective medicines and other necessities of life. The people called their home Metepenagiag
Today we, the Mi'kmaq people of Metepenagiag (Red Bank), have not forgotten our ancestors nor our bond with the Miramichi River. Oral traditions, outstanding heritage sites and a renewed spirituality have combined to awaken the past, to rekindle cultural pride and to offer hope to future generations.
