The legends of Kluskap mention numerous sites in Nova Scotia, many of which can be found on the Kluskap Trail. These sacred sites were the homes of the characters spoken of in these legends. They often have unique geological features that can be directly correlated with the legends. For example, Partridge Island is the home of Kluskap’s grandmother — the grandmother being a sacred symbol. Partridge Island is also referred to as Kluskap’s grandmother’s cooking pot, and one can still watch the cooking pot boil today: the air trapped in holes in the amygdaloidal basalts gets pushed out twice a day when the tide raises, making the water appear to boil. Many of the legends of Kluskap refer to rocks, and the Kluskap Trail has similar unique geological and rock formations. The numerous ancient lithic tools found in the area also provide concrete connections to the legends, as does the toponomy (embedded in the legends of Kluskap is a list of places at which our ancestors collected knappable stones). The Mi’kmawey Debert Project is being led by a Mi’kmaq Elders Advisory Council. The project is multifaceted, and currently includes education, outreach, and research activities. Planning is also underway for a cultural centre scheduled to open in 2012. The Mi’kmawey Debert Cultural Centre will be a focal point for Mi’kmaq history, culture, and education — a place that brings together the expertise of many of our Mi’kmaq communities to tell our own stories. It will also welcome tourists and provide them with an opportunity to explore the fascinating story of what life was like for the First People in Nova Scotia more than 11 000 years ago.
