Millbrook Cultural & Heritage Centre

Discover Mi’kmaq history and Culture alongside knowledgeable interpreters at the modern and award-winning Millbrook Cultural & Heritage Centre in Nova Scotia. Learn about the Mi’kmaw perspective about the importance of the Bay of Fundy to the Mi’kmaq People of Se’ke’pne’katik, and the often-overlooked history of the original people’s struggle to cope with the rapid change to their landscape, political structure, and lifestyle. Once you’ve posed for a selfie with our 40-foot (12m) statue of Glooscap in our courtyard, come inside and enjoy complimentary tea and coffee. Hear Mi’kmaq music and explore our open foyer with skylights and wonderful pieces of art. Settle back in our comfortable nature-themed theatre and watch an 18-minute six screen multimedia presentation which will provide an overview of Mi’kmaq history and put the rest of your tour experience in perspective. Join your interpreter on a multi-sensory tour, stimulate your mind and senses and enter our world: touch furs, porcupine quills, sweetgrass, birch bark, and traditional instruments. Listen to your interpreter as they use their wealth of knowledge on First Nation issues and Culture and share stories that relate artifacts to a way of life, cosmology and a changing relationship with European settlers.
