For ten thousand years, this rugged, sea-swept peninsula has been home to the Aboriginal people. The gifts of the Aboriginal people – their legends, art, music, spirituality, history, and language - enrich the very essence of this province.
The legends of mythic hero-god Glooscap give meaning to the extraordinary geography of this place - it was a meeting between Glooscap and a mighty whale that created the awesome tides of the Bay of Fundy, for instance. Visit the 18th century Mi’kmaq petroglyphs in Kejimkujik National Park and you’ll want to embrace the spirit of this culture and heritage as you tour Nova Scotia.
