MFN was not recognized as an official Indian Act Band in 1949 when Newfoundland joined confederation. In 1984 the Miawpukek Band, after years of political and legal maneuvers and lobbying, succeeded in pressuring the federal government in recognizing it as a Band for the purpose of the Indian Act. In 1987, the reserve at Conne River was officially recognized as an Indian Act Reserve. The Band Council has taken on the mandate of turning the community into an economically self-sufficient community guide by traditional native values. The Band Council has a clear mandate to pursuer economic development rather than being dependent on Social Programs. A number of initiatives have contributed to this goal. For example, approximately 90% of all administrative staff are community members with a significant number having attended training and educational institutions outside the reserve. More that 90% of the Health & Social Services building and the school system is also staffed by trained band members.
MFN places emphasis on economic development initiatives with a concern for environmental issues, and a renewed emphasis in learning the Micmac Language and music in the school program all contribute to a renewed pride in Indigenous Culture within Miawpukek First Nation.

Dance is an art form that knows no boundaries. It moves beyond linguistic, cultural, political and geographical frontiers. Inspired by this philosophy, the DansEncorps Productions Inc. established the atlantic dance FESTIVAL danse atlantique, in order to bring together representatives of various dance sectors in a collective celebration of artistic excellence. The team is proud of its accomplishments since the Festival’s first edition in 2006.
The aim of the professional dance performances is the discovery of top-level artists from the Atlantic Provinces and Canada. Training development and interaction between the dancers and the general public are the main themes of the Festival. The goal is to establish dialogue and networking between participants, and those who have a passion for dance, in a friendly non-competitive atmosphere. The atlantic dance FESTIVAL danse atlantique strives to pursue this goal by offering a program that is even more complete and divers each year.
