About

The We’koqma’q Cultural Shop (Amkwesowa’q Kisitu’titl) celebrates Mi’kmaq culture through authentic, locally made art and goods. We work with Mi’kmaw artists to share their stories, traditions, and creativity, always with respect, consent, and authenticity.

Our mission is to connect people with Mi’kmaq culture in a meaningful way while supporting Indigenous creators and sustainable practices. Every piece we offer carries a story — of community, identity, and heritage.
