beginning in 1565, this Basque fisherman
from Saint-Jean-de-Euz sailed to Eskikewa'kik,
a district of Mi'kma'ki within the traditional
territory of the Mi'kmaq. Here, his crew
caught codfish, which they cleaned, salted
and dried on shore. At the end of the fishing
season, captains like Savalette often met
and traded with Mi'kmaw men who lived
with their families along the coast in order
to harvest the rich bounty of land and sea.
While on his annual voyage to this area, in
1607, Savalette was sought out and met by
Samuel de Champlain and Mare Lescarbot as
they sailed from Port Royal to Canso.

avec des hommes mikmaw qui sont
installes pres du littoral avec leurs familles
pour cueillir les richesses de la terre et
de la mer. En 1607
