Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

I am Micmac. I'm a full tribal member.

I am not familiar with that one

We're from northern Maine and Canada - including out on the islands, and places like Nova Scotia. We're a part of the Abanaki Confederacy, see also Wabanaki, and are Algonquin speakers with our own distinct dialect that also differs further between island and mainland speakers. You'll sometimes see the name stylized as "Mi'kmac" and really it's pronounced kinda like 'me'ak-mack' with the first syllable being slightly faster spoken than the last. 'me-ahk' mack is probably slightly closer.

That's why I am also Canadian. I still had to take a test, but being 3/4 Micmac is what gave me the points I needed to apply for Canadian citizenship. (You need 67 points to apply for Canadian citizenship.)

No, I can't really speak the language. Don't worry, most of us can't. Most of us aren't tribal members or anything. Only a small number remain.

I can speak some of the language phonetically. but I am done after that. I sure as shit couldn't spell the words - even in English language characters.

Our culture pretty much died due to it mostly being bred out of us by forced mating with the Irish. Our history was pretty well destroyed. We have people that come to the lands and dig on them every season, slowly recovering our heritage.

Oddly enough, many of us ended up in the swamps of Louisiana - as Creol and some other word that is escaping me right now.

Seems the cultures were taken from most of the tribes
