MiÙkmawey Debert Trail

The Mi'kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail is a quiet woodland trail which crosses several streams. Beautifully-illustrated interpretation panels tell of the history and significance of this site to the Mi'kmaq people.

Archaeological research has revealed that the Mi'kmawey site in Debert was a traditional hunting place of the First People (Paleo-Indian people) who lived in Atlantic Canada almost 11,000 years ago. The Mi'kmawey Debert site is designated under the Nova Scotia Special Places Protection Act and recognized as a National Historic Site.
