Gespeg Mi'gmaq Interpretation Site
Site d'interprétation micmac de Gespeg
A reconstructed 17th-century Mi'kmaq village that offers insight into the daily life, crafts and legends of Gaspé's Indigenous people.
The name Gaspé comes from the Mi'kmaq word 'Gespeg', meaning land's end. The interpretation centre is run by the local Mi'kmaq community and features a reconstructed 17th-century village of birch-bark huts. Indigenous guides explain hunting, fishing, medicinal plants and crafts, and in summer there are craft demonstrations. It sits beside Route 132, about 6 km north of town. The centre is open in summer, and admission is charged.
