A significant amount of Indigenous culture is constantly put under the radar and is picked apart down to its very roots without consultation of trustworthy sources. Ideas and theories are spewed about and the public eye quickly embeds the ideas into their minds. Indigenous cultures representation is still scarce but many from around Canada are deciding to step up and reclaim their culture, tell their stories to the world and introduce themselves as native people of this country.

The name of the website comes from a word in the language of Mi'kmaw and a word in the english dictionary.
Kitpu and Wisdom. Kitpu in Mi'kmaw means eagle and according to the seven sacred teachings the eagle is directly related to love. The language was derived from the region of Atlantic Canada and its First Nations people. Therefore the name means love and wisdom and really demonstrates what I am trying to spread on the website. It is also a metaphor in bringing both the culture's together in one simple statement. |
