Tools
Mi'kmaq developed many technologies to make tools. Mi'kmaq used several types of wood such as maple, cedar, and beech for different tools.
For arrow points, spearheads, and knives, Mi'kmaq selected a stone called chalcedony, which fractured easily to create sharp points and edges.
To catch fish, Mi'kmaq constructed fishing weirs by weaving together branches together across a river to form a type of net. Some weirs were also made of stone.
Mi'kmaq used their knowledge of the position of the Sun, Moon, and stars to determine transportation routes and seasonal change.
