About
Visit Cape Dauphin to discover traditional plant medicines, sacred legends, and a deeper way of seeing the forest.
Cape Dauphin carries deep significance in Mi’kmaw tradition, rooted in the legends of Glooscap and thousands of years of connection to the land. The forest here isn’t just a scenic backdrop; it holds a sacred food, medicine, and teachings you only begin to notice when someone who lives and breathes this heritage is walking with you. This walk gives you a chance to see the natural world through the eyes of a culture where people, plants, and spirit are entirely interconnected.
Jeff Ward leads this outing, sharing traditional knowledge of local plants, medicine, and the enduring relationships that have shaped Mi’kmaw life in Cape Breton for generations. As we make our way through this legendary landscape, you will learn to interpret the forest not as a trail to be conquered, but as a living provider.
Note: Out of respect for the spiritual significance of this place and for the safety of all participants, this walk will not be visiting the cave entrance.
