Abegweit

  • Episode 13

Chuck travels to Scotchfort, one of the three communities of the Abegweit First Nation on Prince Edward Island. Accompanied by Brezlyn, a young man who is very involved in his community, Chuck takes part in an eel fishing trip, the undisputed food of the Mi'kmaq diet. A big surprise awaits Chuck when he learns that a special guest is joining their nighttime outing on the water. Chuck also meets Junior Peter-Paul, a community elder with whom he has the chance to learn more about oysters as a delicious food that once contributed to the survival of the Mi'kmaq.

Chuck is interested in knowing more about the sweat lodge ritual.
