Best Answer

The Mi'kmaq were the dominant tribe on the east coast of Canada prior to the European settlers arriving. They did not practice much agriculture because of their northern climate and short growing season but some villages planted small plots of corn and root vegetables. Skilled hunter-gatherers they were reliant on canoes and the open waters of the sea for fish, crustaceans, marine mammals, moose and small game. The Mi'kmaq were also skilled at traveling in snow, utilizing snowshoes, sleds and Taba'gan from where the modern term Toboggan comes from. It is said the mi'kmaq migrated from the north well before the 1500's. Actual Mi'kmaq lore claims ownership of tribal lands at the very begining of time.
