Freya and Abbi's Journey to Find the Mi'kmaw Spirit: A Story of Discovery in Ktaqmkuk

By Rod Bennett and Rita Gallippi

Join Freya and her sister Abbi on a heartfelt journey to Newfoundland, where family, culture, and the beauty of the land come together. Guided by their Uncle Rod, director of operations at the Qalipu First Nation in Grand Falls-Windsor, and their Nana Tracy, Freya embarks on a personal quest to discover her Mi'kmaw roots.

As stories of the ancestors unfold by the glow of a campfire, and dreams guide her through the teachings of the land, Freya learns about the importance of harmony, respect, and the spirit that connects her to her heritage. Inspired by the legendary journey of Kitpu, a brave young Mi'kmaw girl, Freya discovers that the true spirit of the Mi'kmaq lives within her heart and the land that surrounds her.

This beautifully woven story celebrates the power of storytelling, the wisdom of Elders, and the deep connection to nature.

It is a journey of identity, tradition, and the value of protecting the gifts of the Earth for generations to come.
