Mi'kmaq travelled on foot. Unlike the plains Indians, horses were not used. The tribe are skilled canoeists and used sturdy humpbacked birch bark canoes for both inland lake/river and ocean/coastal water travel. It was not unusual for family groups to be seen miles from water with a canoe being carried portage style by one or two male members of the group.
In the winter the Mi'kmaq excelled at snow travel. They utilized snowshoes and Taba'gan ( toboggan).
