These gatherings are essential for the Mi\u2019gmawei Mawio\u2019mi to come together, discuss relevant matters, and make decisions that impact the Mi\u2019gmaq of Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wide range of topics and issues are typically addressed during MM meetings. These may include governance, cultural preservation, community development, land, and resource management.

Their primary objective is to enhance a nation-to-nation relationship with the Crown. The political alliance includes the three Mi\u2019gmaq Chiefs and their Council.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The (MM) traditionally meets quarterly, although the frequency of meetings may vary due to specific circumstances or events. These gatherings are essential for the Mi\u2019gmawei Mawio\u2019mi to come together, discuss relevant matters, and make decisions that impact the Mi\u2019gmaq of Gespe\u2019gewa\u2019gi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wide range of topics and issues are typically addressed during MM meetings. These may include governance, cultural preservation, community development, land, and resource management. Participants engage in open dialogue, share information, and contribute their perspectives to shape the direction.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MM is crucial in providing mandates and setting priorities for the Mi\u2019gmawei Mawio\u2019mi Secretariat (MMS). This administrative body, in turn, works diligently to implement the decisions made during MM meetings and carry out the necessary actions to achieve the community\u2019s objectives.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background
