Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation is located near Antigonish, Nova Scotia. “Paqtnkek” means “by the bay” and reflects the connection the community maintains to the local bay and its resources.  The people of Paqtnkek prides themselves on their exercise of Treaty and Aboriginal Rights, as they maintain connections to the traditional ways of their ancestors.

We invite you to stop by Paqtnkek’s Bayside Travel Centre on your way through the region and encourage you to experience the teachings and artistry of local Makers and Hosts in the community.
