Each tribe spoke a different language. But all got along well with each other. The three tribes were afraid of the great warring Indian nation to the North - the Mohawks. The Micmacs used to pray to the sun because it was the giver of all life. Every morning and night Micmac fathers would pray that their children would be safe from the Mohawks.

How did the Micmacs get to New Brunswick? There have been many theories. A theory is an educated guess as to how something happened. No one knows for sure because the Micmacs had no written language to record their history. The most likely theory is that all North American Indians came from Asia. This theory states that they crossed the water from Asia to Alaska over the years. They slowly moved to all parts of the United States and Canada. They most likely did this in looking for new hunting and fishing grounds. This is only a theory. Nobody truly knows how the Micmacs got here.
