The Revitalization of Wapnaqn
Wapnaqn is a traditional Mi'kmaw game traditionally played by men. The game is almost lost to time, but with the teachings of Elder Nelson Paul of Membertou NS, the game has an opportunity of revival in our Mi'kmaq communities. We will go over the game, teachings, and the process we took to bring this ancient dice game back to the L'nu people.
