Mi'kmaq People
The Mi'kmaq (also ''Mi'gmaq'', ''Lnu'', ''Miꞌkmaw'' or ''Miꞌgmaw''; ; ) are a First Nations people of the Northeastern Woodlands, indigenous to the areas of Canada's Atlantic Provinces and the Gaspé Peninsula of Quebec as well as the northeastern region of Maine. The traditional national territory of the Mi'kmaq is named Miꞌkmaꞌki (or Miꞌgmaꞌgi). There are 170,000 Mi'kmaq people in the region, (including 18,044 members in the recently formed Qalipu First Nation in Newfoundland.) Nearly 11,000 members speak Miꞌkmaq, an Eastern Algonquian language. Once written in Miꞌkmaw hieroglyphic writing, it is now written using most letters of the Latin alphabet. The Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, and Pasamaquoddy nations signed a series of treaties known as the Covenant Chain of Peace and Friendship Treaties with the British Crown throughout the eighteenth century; the first was signed in 1725, and the last in 1779.

Indian Brook 14
Indian Brook 14 is a Mi'kmaq reserve located in Hants County, Nova Scotia. In the 2016 Census, the reserve has 1,089 residents. It is administratively part of the Sipekneꞌkatik First Nation. History Father Louis-Pierre Thury sought to gather the Mi'kmaq of Peninsular Nova Scotia into a single settlement around Shubenacadie Nova Scotia as early as 1699. Not until Father Rale's War, however, did Antoine Gaulin, a Quebec-born missionary, erect a permanent mission at Shubenacadie (adjacent to Snides Lake and close to the former Residential school). He also make seasonal trips to Cape Sable, LaHave, and Mirlegueche. The Shubenacadie mission's dedication to Saint Anne speaks to a spirit of accommodation on the part of both the French and the Mi'kmaq. Anne, traditionally identified as the mother of Mary, was the grandmother of Jesus himself. The esteemed position of grandmothers in Mi'kmaw society was a point of agreement between Roman Catholicism and the Mi'kmaw worldview, and ...

Indian Brook Reservoir
Indian Brook Reservoir is a 58 acre reservoir located in the town of Essex, Vermont. It is the focal point of the Indian Brook Town Conservation Area. History The reservoir was created to address the increasing demand for water in Chittenden County. A series of droughts in the early 20th century led the village of Essex Junction to procure land for water conservation. On June 29, 1955, Essex Junction purchased 501 acres of land from various owners. In 1957, the village hired Knight Consulting Engineers, Inc. to build a dam across Indian Brook and flood the valley. The resulting impounded water formed a 58 acre reservoir and became the main source of water for the village. The land surrounding it was established as a water conservation area known as the Indian Brook Town Conservation Area.Essex Conservation Committee (2011). Indian Brook Management Plan. Town of Essex, Essex, VT. In the early 1970s, the growth of the village was again restricted by inadequate water supply, so in ...
