Join us on Juku’e for this short episode as we explore a groundbreaking archaeological discovery near Stanhope, PEI – the 5,000-year-old remains of the earliest known Indigenous ancestor on Epekwitk (Prince Edward Island). This jawbone fragment, belonging to a Mi’kmaw woman, reveals invaluable insights into the Island’s ancient past and the enduring legacy of the Mi’kmaq, who have called this land home for over 12,000 years. Hear from L’nuey’s Executive Director Jenene Wooldridge and Senior Archaeologist Dr. Helen Kristmanson about how this discovery is enhancing understandings of Mi’kmaw history and sparking a renewed focus on cultural heritage through L’nuey’s newly launched Archaeology Program. Tune in to learn how combining archaeological research with Mi’kmaw traditional knowledge is challenging historical narratives and ensuring that Mi’kmaw voices lead the way in preserving the past and shaping the future.
