I tried out the medicine wheel test and found it fitting to who I am. I came across your site while searching for medicine wheel assessments. I will certainly be back and also shared the link with a few friends :) - miigwetch

Love your site and will send to my granddaughter's who will enjoy learning of their heritage. My great grandfather was Mattie Mitchell, renowned Mi'kmaq Indian guide. My mother was Madeline Duhart of Corner Brook Newfoundland and both myself and oldest brother was born there and moved to the States in 1946. Six more children were born in Illinois to my parents.
I took the medicine wheel test and am "EAST"~
I will go thru your site with a "fine tooth comb" and a cup of tea~
Thank you!
My son, Shaun, had put a link to your site on facebook~
That is how I found you!

Dear Theresa - I very much enjoy your site. I am a cajun from South Louisiana and the more I study and research my ancestors the more Lejeunes, Meuses, Rimbaults and Amiraults I discover and I realize much of my ancestory is truly Mi'kmaq ! I would love very much to visit and learn more about Mi'kmaq spirituality and get to know my distant cousins. Some Mi'kmaq gave me the name "Gi Gassuinu" or he who teases which fits me but I would like to know how to pronounce it and is it appropriate.

Your website made me feel as if I had stumbled upon something worthwhile. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and awareness.

My cousin has recently moved to Bear River and emailed me your site. This was a perfect day with the rain pooring down to get my cup of tea and enjoy it!
Very interesting and I will forward it on to others in my family who have an interest in your culture.
I was born in the direction of the west.

Thank you all for your wonderful web site "sincere" comments. They are truly appreciated. And our apologies for all the unnecessary comments that get through from time to time. As some of you may have noticed, there are those who get confused in what kind of messages to leave. We do try and stay on top of them. Also, thanks for your patience while we slack on getting updates and new things on the site. But, hopefully what is here remains enjoyable.
Sincerely, Theresa & Kevin
A participant in our library course introduced me to your work and your website. Congratulations on making your information so accessible and welcoming.

Hi Theresa,
I love your website. Living so far away from family, this helps me to keep in touch. I will share this with your cousins, many whom you've never met and somehow, it may help to bring you all closer. Keep up the great work..my love to you all.

Theresa & Kevin:
Excellent, 1 million times, if only we could draw all those stars that many times. But yes, Theresa, we can. One night just look over the sky and you and kevin, look at what the Creator has drawn above us all. All the stars, millions of them. You have both an Excellent site, i enjoyed the Medicine Wheel Test immensely, it fit to a Tee. Amazingly our personalities are either N,S.E.W. and how we interact are based on all parts of norms, etc. Way to go.
Look forward to seeing more.
Best Wishes

Good morning! Keep up this great resource.

Thank you for your hard work, I hope that people of all cultures explore your site to see the world of the Mi'kmaq, to get to know of our pre-euro contact conditions and our ways and manners. We did not lose our roots and our history for they are crying to be told to all and thanks to sites like this I feel that deed is being done.

Hello Theresa....thanks for your kind e-mail. I visited both yours and your brother's web sites and really enjoyed them. You have much to share with the world. I believe you have much to teach me. I wish you all the best in your writing endeavors. As you know it is a challenging and sometimes lonely discipline. But the joy of seeing children "get it!" is all worth it. Again, thanks for your kind words.

Hi Theresa,
I just received your website address and have spent the last hour or so enjoying this marvelous discovery. My Mi'kmaq heritage is so very important to me and this site will be so useful for so many, many reasons. Blessings to you and your husband for the kindness and insight in sharing your wisdom and stories. May my walk, and the walk of those I tell my stories to, be continuously enlightened by your kindness.

Leland passed the link to your site on to me. Thank you for the time and energy you have put into this site to help educate and bring together the Mi'Kmaq people and their culture... oh, and I just so happen to be drinking a cup of tea while searching your site.. ha! We are all related! We'lalin,
Lynne Waters
I love you and your husband's site! It is very informative and easy to navigate. I was looking for info on your culture and mine (Acadian), as my ancestor and your people fought alongside one another against the British from 1753 to 1763, when he was captured. I have written a book on our family history and will be starting a 3rd book on my ancestor's role at the 2nd massacre at Bloody Creek near Bridgetown. Hope to hear from you sometime. Take care.
PS. On the Medicine Wheel test, I'm a West type.

Theresa: Very nice site, looks beautiful. Haven't had time to read it yet but I will.
