A M'gmaq Way of Life
Featuring Original Photography and Writing by Steven Martin, Indigenous media creator from Listuguj First Nation, living in Gatineau, Quebec. 

Discover a powerful visual story rooted in heritage, resilience, and tradition in A M'gmaq Way of Life—a 40-page photo book featuring original photography and writing by Steven Martin, an Indigenous artist and documentarian from Listuguj, Quebec. This captivating collection brings to life the enduring relationship between the Mi’gmaq people and the Restigouche River, where generations have fished for Plamu (salmon) and passed on teachings tied to land, water, and spirit.

The book journeys through rich cultural practices, the legendary tale of Glooscap and the giant beaver who shaped Sugarloaf Mountain, and the annual salmon migration that continues to sustain both body and soul. Each photo reflects the vibrancy and strength of Mi’gmaq life and the community’s ongoing commitment to preservation and tradition.
