The Mi’kmaq Canoe
Of all traditional Mi’kmaq material culture, the canoe or kwitn has been among the most impressive and enduring inventions in our history. Each Indigenous nation had their own identifiable canoe design that was unique to
them. Mi’kmaq canoes were made of birch bark and had distinct high gunwales, making the canoes suitable for
lakes and oceans.
Prior to European settlement, Mi’kmaq people had mastered the art and craft of canoe building. The birch bark
canoe was designed to manage rough water systems while carrying a heavy load, yet it was lightweight and could
make for an easy portage. This design was so efficient that modern canoes were modeled after it, remaining virtually the same with the exception of now being made of Kevlar or fibreglass rather than natural materials.
Indigenous people in Canada had trade networks set up along established canoe routes, many were too difficult
for European boats to maneuver the lakes, rivers, and portages required for travelling long distances or into the
interior. The canoe became the principal method of transportation for European settlers and remains a Canadian
icon.

PARENTS AGAINST DRUGS. FRIDAY, APRIL 10, 2015
Page 13
Substance Abuse
and Addiction
Tips for Recovery
Once you start a treatment program, try these tips to make the road to recovery less bumpy:
• Tell your friends about your decision to stop using drugs. Your true friends will respect your decision. This
might mean that you need to find a new group of friends who will be 100% supportive. Unless everyone
decides to kick their drug habit at once, you probably won’t be able to hang out with the friends you did drugs
with.
• Ask your friends or family to be available when you need them. You might need to call someone in the middle
of the night just to talk. If you’re going through a tough time, don’t try to handle things on your own — accept
the help your family and friends offer.
• Accept invitations only to events that you know won’t involve drugs or alcohol. Going to the movies is probably safe, but you may want to skip a Friday night party until you’re feeling more secure. Plan activities that
don’t involve drugs. Go to the movies, try bowling, or take an art class with a friend.
• Have a plan about what you’ll do if you find yourself in a place with drugs or alcohol. The temptation will be
there sometimes, but if you know how you’re going to handle it, you’ll be OK. Establish a plan with your parents, siblings, or other supportive friends and adults so that if you call home using a code, they’ll know that
your call is a signal you need a ride out of there.
• Remind yourself that having an addiction doesn’t make a person bad or weak. If you fall back into old patterns (backslide) a bit, talk to an adult as soon as possible. There’s nothing to be ashamed about, but it’s important to get help soon so that all of the hard work you put into your recovery is not lost.
If you’re worried about a friend who has an addiction, you can use these tips to help him or her. For example, let
your friend know that you are available to talk or offer your support. If you notice a friend backsliding, talk about
it openly and ask what you can do to help. If your friend is going back to drugs or drinking and won’t accept your
help, don’t be afraid to talk to a nonthreatening, understanding adult, like your parent or school counselor. It may
seem like you’re ratting your friend out, but it’s the best support you can offer. Above all, offer a friend who’s battling an addiction lots of encouragement and praise. It may seem corny, but hearing that you care is just the kind
of motivation your friend needs.
For help with addictions, please contact Blair Paul or Lawrence Wells at the Membertou Wellness home at 902564-6466 ext 2680 and 2780.
