Through community feasts, drum circles, cultural workshops, and seasonal gatherings, the Menahqesk Wellness Circle creates a welcoming space for connection, learning, and healing.

At UNB, the Mi’kmaq-Wolastoqey Centre (MWC) plays a vital role in nurturing Indigenous identity, culture, and connection. Located on Wolastoqiyik traditional territory, it provides space and support for Indigenous students, offering cultural resources, knowledge sharing, events, and teachings that strengthen ties to Wabanaki histories, language, and traditions.
Through its work, UNB (via the MWC) doesn’t just offer academic programs — it fosters community, belonging, and cultural resurgence. Click here to learn more about UNB and the MWC.
