Eskasoni

History, Culture & Beauty Waiting to be Discovered

Set on the shores of the Bras d’Or Lake, Eskasoni is the world’s largest Mi'kmaq community and a vibrant centre of living culture. Walk the 2.4 km trail on Goat Island with Mi'kmaw guides, take part in smudging, drumming and bannock-making, and learn about traditional lifeways through stories, crafts and ceremony. Whether you’re paddling the lake, joining a medicine walk or simply listening, Eskasoni offers a deep, meaningful connection to Mi'kmaw culture, land and language.
