At the time of European contact, the Micmac occupied Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, the northern portion of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. They are the Souriquois of the Jesuit Relations and the Gaspesians of LeClercq. Like their neighbours, the Maliseet, the Micmac remained allies of the French throughout the wars of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A Micmac community was also established in Newfoundland, at Conne River, in the nineteenth century. The Micmac and the Maliseet subsisted on a wide variety of riverine resources, including salmon, striped bass, eel and gaspereau. Along coastal areas, seal hunting and shellfish gathering were important. During the winter months, they relied heavily on moose, caribou and porcupine for subsistence.
