Ango’tmeq Nm’tginen
We take care of our Territory<\/h1><\/div>

Gesgapegiag, Gespeg and Listuguj are communities in the seventh district of Mi\u2019gma\u2019gi known as Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi\u2019gmaq<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

The role of the Ango’tmeg Nm’tginen (AN) is to ensure safe and sustainable natural resource development in Gespe’gewa’gi. Rooted within the territory of Gespe’gewa’gi, the Mi’gmaq are stewards of the natural environment. The AN is accountable for consultation and accommodations regarding resource development and infrastructure of the territory, formation of the Gespe’gewa’gi Management Plan (GMP), caribou protection, lessening the impacts of Qu\u00e9bec vacation lots and toponomy projects.<\/p>\n

AN actively works with government entities to provide a Mi’gmaw perspective that includes a water-first<\/u> and a two-eyed seeing<\/u> approach to specific development projects that could impact the environment and wildlife. The information is then brought to the leadership to get the most informed response possible. This approach is key to the endorsement of any development projects in the territory of Gespe’gewa’gi.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Ta\u2019n Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi Tliango\u2019tesnen (TGT) is a Land Use Plan<\/u> that will assist in evaluating and guiding how development occurs in Gespe’gewa’gi and focuses on the well-being of our land, resources, and water. Gespe’gewa’gi has been our home since time immemorial, and the TGT encourages our people to use and occupy the territory, as it is our right as Mi’gmaw Citizens.<\/p>\n

The development of the TGT begins by utilizing and collecting location information for hunting, gathering, trapping, and harvesting activities. The established areas are then prioritized in the territory, mapped out and are meant to protect the territory. This is to ensure the priorities of the Mi’gmaq are reflected in the territory’s development, use, and protection.<\/p>\n<\/div>
