Prior to the imposition of the Indian Act, each district had its own independent government and boundaries. The independent governments had a district chief and a council. The council members were band chiefs, elders, and other worthy community leaders. The district council was charged with performing all the duties of any independent and free government by enacting laws, justice, apportioning fishing and hunting grounds, making war and suing for peace. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Districts">Districts</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mi%27kmaq&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Districts">edit</a>]</div> The eight Mi'kmaw districts (including Ktaqmkuk which is often not counted) are <a href="/wiki/PEI" class="mw-redirect" title="PEI">Epekwitk</a> aq Piktuk (Epegwitg aq Pigtug), Eskikewa'kik (Esge'gewa'gi), <a href="/wiki/Gaspesie" class="mw-redirect" title="Gaspesie">Kespek (Gespe'gewa'gi)</a>, Kespukwitk (Gespugwitg), Siknikt (Signigtewa'gi), Sipekni'katik (Sugapune'gati), <a href="/wiki/Newfoundland_(island)" title="Newfoundland (island)">Ktaqmkuk (Gtaqamg)</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Cape_Breton" class="mw-redirect" title="Cape Breton">Unama'kik (Unama'gi)</a>.

By that point, vehicles and property belonging to members of the Sipekne'katik First Nation had already been damaged and stolen, including boats being burned.

Indigenous leaders called the raids racist hate crimes and called on the RCMP to intervene, citing their slow response on the evening and lack of arrests even a day after the police claimed they "witnessed criminal activity". Social media posts from the commercial fishers and their supporters claimed that the lobsters taken in the raids were removed as they represented "bad fishing practices" on the part of the Mi'kmaq, but Sipekne'katik Chief Mike Sack and a worker at the Middle West Pubnico facility claimed the lobsters that were stored there were caught by the commercial fishers, not Mi'kmaw. <a href="/wiki/Assembly_of_First_Nations" title="Assembly of First Nations">Assembly of First Nations</a> national chief <a href="/wiki/Perry_Bellegarde" title="Perry Bellegarde">Perry Bellegarde</a>, federal Fisheries minister <a href="/wiki/Bernadette_Jordan" title="Bernadette Jordan">Bernadette Jordan</a>, and Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen's Association, all condemned the violence.

In 1715, the Mi'kmaq were told that the British now claimed their ancient territory by the Treaty of Utrecht. They formally complained to the French commander at Louisbourg about the French king transferring the sovereignty of their nation when he did not possess it. They were informed that the French had claimed legal possession of their country for a century, on account of laws decreed by kings in Europe, that no land could be legally owned by any non-Christian, and that such land was therefore freely available to any Christian prince who claimed it. Mi'kmaw historian Daniel Paul observes that, "If this warped law were ever to be accorded recognition by modern legalists they would have to take into consideration that, after Grand Chief Membertou and his family converted to Christianity in 1610, the land of the Mi'kmaq had become exempt from being seized because the people were Christians.

At the beginning of the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolution" title="American Revolution">American Revolution</a>, many Mi'kmaw and <a href="/wiki/Maliseet" class="mw-redirect" title="Maliseet">Maliseet</a> tribes supported the Americans against the British.

The following month, British Captain Augustus Harvey, in command of HMS Viper, arrived and battled with the Mi'kmaq. One Mi'kmaw was killed and 16 were taken prisoner to Quebec. The prisoners were eventually taken to Halifax.

In response, the British offered charity or, the word most often used by government officials, "relief". The British said the Mi'kmaq must give up their way of life and begin to settle on farms.

In addition, it is not believed that pre-contact Mi'kmaq had any form of written language. As such, almost all of Mi'kmaw traditions were passed down orally, primarily via storytelling. There were traditionally three levels of oral traditions: religious myths, legends, and folklore. This includes Mi'kmaw <a href="/wiki/Creation_myth" title="Creation myth">creation stories</a> and myths which account for the organization of the world and society; for instance, how men and women were created and why they are different from one another. The most well known Mi'kmaw myth is that of <a href="/wiki/Glooscap" title="Glooscap">Glooscap</a>. Good storytellers are highly prized by the Mi'kmaq,<a href="#cite_note-136">[131]</a> as they provide important teachings that shape who a person grows to be, and are sources of great entertainment. One myth explains that the Mi'kmaq once believed that evil and wickedness among men is what causes them to kill each other. This causes great sorrow to the creator-sun-god, who weeps tears that become rains sufficient to trigger a deluge. The people attempt to survive the flood by traveling in bark canoes, but only a single old man and woman survive to populate the earth.<a href="#cite_note-137">[132]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Spiritual_sites">Spiritual sites</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Mi%27kmaq&action=edit&section=33" title="Edit section: Spiritual sites">edit</a>]</div> One spiritual capital of the Mi'kmaq Nation is Mniku, the gathering place of the Mi'kmaw Grand Council or Santé Mawiómi, Chapel Island in <a href="/wiki/Bras_d%27Or_Lake" title="Bras d'Or Lake">Bras d'Or Lake</a> of <a href="/wiki/Nova_Scotia" title="Nova Scotia">Nova Scotia</a>.

The festival was celebrated on or immediately after the last quarter of the moon in the month of May, when the tide was low. The townspeople assembled on the shore of the North West Arm and shared a dish of clam soup, the clams being collected on the spot at low water. There is a tradition that in 1786, soon after the American Revolutionary War, when there were threats of American invasion of Canada, agents of the US were trying to recruit supporters in Halifax. As people were celebrating St. Aspinquid with wine, they suddenly hauled down the <a href="/wiki/Union_Jack" title="Union Jack">Union Jack</a> and replaced it with <a href="/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States" title="Flag of the United States">the Stars and Stripes</a> [US flag]. This was soon reversed, but public officials quickly left, and St. Aspinquid was never after celebrated at Halifax. (See Akins.
