Paqꞌtnkek First Nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paqtnkek Mi’kmaw Nation (pronounced buck-n-keg)[1] is a Mi'kmaq Band in northeastern Nova Scotia. Its populated reserve is Paqtnkek-Niktuek 23. As of December 2019 the total registered population was 598.[2] It is a member of the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'kmaq. The name Paqtnkek means “by the bay”[3] or "Above the water (but at a distance from the ocean)".[4] The area has long been important to Mi'kmaq for the fishing of eel and other species.[5]

Bayside Travel Centre

The lands of the First Nation were divided in 1960 with the building of the Trans-Canada Highway, making access to some parts difficult. In 2017 an agreement was reached with federal and provincial governments to build a new interchange,[6] which opened in 2019.[7] The band's business arm, Bayside Development Corporation Limited was incorporated in 2018 and its shares are held in trust for the benefit of Paqtnkek.[8] It operates Bayside Travel Centre at exit 36-B on Nova Scotia Highway 104 which includes fuel service, convenience store, restaurants, a Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation agency store, entertainment centre and a visitor information centre with cultural displays.[9] It opened in October 2019.[10]
