Red Bank First Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Red Bank or Metepenagiag is a Mi'kmaq reservation west of Miramichi, New Brunswick, Canada.

[edit] History

Red Bank has been home to a group of Mi'Kmaq's for over 3000 years. Evidence was discovered in 1972 by Joseph Mike Augustine (a.k.a Joe Mike.) He was reading a magazine article about an ancient burial ground in Arizona. Joe Mike recalled a similar mound in Red Bank. The artifacts found at the site proved that this place was inhabited for over 3000 years.^{[citation needed]}
