Mi’kmawey Debert National Historic Site

The Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail (4.4 km loop) tells the story of this significant indigenous archeological site, which represents the earliest evidence for humans in eastern North America.  Picture an ice-age landscape with mastodons, caribou, and giant beavers wandering over the tundra that covered those parts of Mi’kma’ki not still covered by Ice Age glaciers, more than 11,000 years ago. Imagine communities of people who hunted at the base of the Cobequid Highlands for more than a thousand years.
