Sante' Mawiomi - St. Anne's Mission
July 28, 2011 - July 31, 2011
Since time immemorial, Chapel Island has been a spiritual gathering and meeting place for the Mi’kmaq and their Grand Council.
Mniku, as it is called by the Mi’kmaq, is also the site of an annual celebration in late July, the St. Anne Mission, which attracts Mi’kmaq from across Atlantic Canada, Quebec and the State of Maine. While it is a Christian ceremony honouring St. Anne, the Patron Saint of the Mi’kmaq, it is also an event where people renew ties to one another and reaffirm their sense of community.
