The Mi'kmaq Language Resources - Msit Kisitaqn L'nui'simkewe'l (MKL) contains the resources that have been submitted to the project team by the host institutions. This is just a sample of the Mi'kmaq language learning resources that are available throughout Nova Scotia.

Finding a Mi’kmaq Language Teacher
Are you looking for a Mi’kmaq language teacher? The Mi’kmaq Teachers Inventory lists individuals
who are available to teach Mi’kmaq.
The Msit Kisitaqn L’nui’simkewe’l or Mi’kmaq Language Resources Database gives a list of all Mi’kmaq teaching
resources we were able to locate, in 2015 and 2016, at various Mi’kmaq and Non-Mi’kmaq organizations throughout
Nova Scotia. Unfortunately, this does not mean that this material is always available to the public. Now that we,
at the Kji-keptin Alexander Denny L’nui’sultimkeweyo’kuom (Mi’kmaq Language Lab) of the Unama’ki College of Cape
Breton University have found and catalogued the Mi’kmaq teaching materials that exist we are in the process of
republishing material that is out of print, scanning material to make it available on-line or, if the material is
still in print, making copies available for sale through the Cape Breton University (CBU) Bookstore. We will keep
you updated through this site as we advance with this initiative.
The material we currently have available through the CBU Bookstore may be found by visiting the bookstore in person
or by using the link http://www.bkstr.com/capebretonstore/home.
