Micmac...
"The Micmac Indians live in a broad area around the mouth of
the St. Lawrence River, where they were first observed by early
French traders.   Made up of numerous small clans, or bands, the
Micmac have persevered in this region until the present day.
Although somewhat culturally assimilated to modern life,
they still maintain their group identity.   Micmac is an Algon-
quian language."
