Lennox Island First Nation
Lennox Island First Nation is the first and largest Mi’kmaq Band on Epektwik. Today, approximately 450 of the Band’s 1056 members live on the Lennox Island reserve, also known as L’nui Mnikuk. The 540-hectare island is located in northwestern PEI and connected to the main island by a short causeway and bridge and overlooks Malpeque Bay.
Abegweit First Nation
Abegweit First Nation is a proud Mi’kmaq Band that traces its roots to Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island), dating back 10,000 years according to oral tradition and archaeological evidence. The official creation of the Abegweit First Nation occurred on March 7th, 1972. Originally, all Mi’kmaq on Epekwitk were a part of one band, the Lennox Island First Nation. The formation of a new Band was proposed as a means of better serving the needs of community members in Eastern PEI.
