Pituamkek - A Mi’kmaq Heritage Landscape

Pituamkek, known in English as “Hog Island and the Sandhills”, is home to Prince Edward Island’s last wild coastal landscapes. It is also rich in Mi’kmaw history, culture, and is home to an ongoing land-use tradition. This film brings alive the nature, landscapes and deep Mi’kmaw history and culture of the area, and profiles Indigenous-led conservation initiatives underway there. This sacred stretch of Islands and Sandhills has been home to Mi’kmaq people for thousands of years, and efforts are now underway to preserve and protect these precious lands and waters to ensure their survival for the Mi’kmaq and for all generations to come. Credits are found at the end of this film. Wela'lin - thank you, to all who contributed and participated in its making. Copyright of L’nuey, 2021
