Bachelor of Arts - Mi'kmaq Studies

The rich culture and long history of the Mi’kmaq thrives today on Cape Breton Island and at Cape Breton University. From the ancient Mi’kmaw language to modern Mi’kmaw current events, students will become immersed in a program that focuses on teaching the true ways of Canada’s First Nations people.

The various Mi’kmaq Studies courses teach students how to read and write in Mi’kmaq, how the Canadian Indian Act works, details of First Nation governance and much more. This comprehensive area of study examines multiple aspects of the Mi’kmaq, discussed within a framework of the current First Nations reality – not only within Canada, but on a broader scale, globally.

At Cape Breton University, the Mi’kmaq Studies courses focus on two major themes of study: Mi’kmaw language and culture; and Mi’kmaw politics, history and governance. These courses are designed to provide a solid foundation for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous students alike.
