Miawpukek First Nation: "we look after the land, ...our spirit and we look after the people" [Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada, AANDC]

“See how the small community of mostly Mik'maq band members in the remote coastal town of Conne River in Newfoundland has taken on the mandate of turning the reserve into an economic self sufficient entity guided by traditional native values to enhance the cultural, social and spiritual aspects of its people. Miawpukek First Nation has gone from being poor and isolated with high unemployment to a strong and vibrant community with nearly 100% employment.”
